Before I continue I must state that I believe in working safe at all times and that dangerous risks should not be taken at any time ,its not worth it.
However some of the carp I hear about is just going too far.
Couple of sparks were telling me they had to work in gloves on one job!!
My M8 was asked to run a cable in for a fire alarm company . Gets to job over in Coventry, Courtaulds, 4 hours safety induction , then given Hi-viz jacket, hard hat, gloves, goggles . So dressed thus , he,s in an office full of women working at desks, lifting out ceiling tiles and running a pyro over the the top. Women below have no protection but apparently it only applied to manual workers. :C
I did a few jobs for a project management company , their H&S man came on site and was looking at my wooden steps . " There is no safety cert for them " he says , " How do you know they are safe to use ?"
"Well I've been using that pair for 25 years , I think I.d know by now "
Told me to get them certified
Must get onto that!! :innocent
