    In some sites in Germany, not touching the handrail when on the stairs incurrs an HSSE infraction.

      Ahh, I think that they just do not need to have laws against discrimination, I mean then have never historically discriminated anyone group of people, have they?
      Nope, apart from the Jews, Gypsys, Freemasons, Homosexuals, non-whites, can't think of any.

        Maybe they are not discriminating. Maybe they have all others. is that more politically correct?

          This is where the conversation ends up looking like something from a Monty-Python script.

            Forcing women to wear bra's? Crazy!!!!!

            Gotta love the Germans.
            It is ridiculous that breasts are considered sexual. The function of breasts are for the feeding of babies; nothing more. Anyone he takes advantage of a woman’s smooth soft breasts and incite her nipples to be erect while her bosoms palpitate are abusing nature.

              I thought it was more for the looks. I have seen too many German women without a bra, that should definitely have used one to lift stuff about 20 cms.

                Some sites in the UK too.

                I had to have an H&S gonk show me the correct way to walk up the stairs when I got caught not doing that at one client.

                I didn't impress when I pointed out once he'd got up the stairs that he'd forgotten to clean his hands with anti-bacterial gel because of all the germs that can be found on handrails.

                  Ditto for a UK registered, private sector, previous ClientCo in the East of England.

                  Halfway up the stairs, carrying some stuff, someone coming down told me I was on the wrong side of the stairs and made me switch to the other side, while they were stood on the mezzanine floor. ******. I was too surprised to tell him to piss off and grow up.

                    And what does that say about someone who likes to put his mouth in between two of them and blow, producing a loud farting noise?

                      I suppose that if one is lactating it might produce a Cappuccino effect.
