Health and Safety Madness

[Mich the Tester]

This handrail thing seems to be their flagship health and safety policy.

They also encourage staff to come up with their own initiatives.

I'm tempted to suggest not holding the handrail since I'd rather break my neck than succumb to one of those nasty winter stomach viruses picked up from touching surfaces that have been contaminated by filthy individuals who don't wash their hands after taking a dump.

Suggest the introduction of a hand washing and bog seat cleaning inspector to tackle both this problem and the challenge of people leaving skidmarks on the bog seat.

At an old gig they would assign random people to help with health and safety checks.

I got asked to spend a day going round checking all the fire doors would open. Made a change and got full pay for the day so didnt mind.

Some of the doors were hard to open. One I couldnt open at all, even with full force kicks.

So I got brownie points for finding a door that couldnt be opened.

Funny old world.

Do they insist on reverse parking? Apparently most car park accidents are caused by people reversing when leaving site, the data on how many are caused by reversing into the space in the first place wasn't available.

I think the sign said pull rather than push

Used to do that at the MOD in the eighties - but that was so we could drive away quickly if the IRA decided to shoot at us.

+1 the purpose of reverse parking is to get out quick if you need to. Strangely oil companies especially at refineries and terminals really like the idea....

in one place the meeting place if there is an emergency is 5 miles away....
