QuoteNo wonder the Head of H & S herself made this comment:"We are an organisation which enables business activities, including many highly hazardous ones, to take place with proper, sensible and proportionate risk management measures in place. We do not ban conkers, prohibit the sale of cakes at charity fetes, stop school trips or any one of numerous other myths which abound on "elf n' safety".(Dame Judith Hackett CBE - Chair of Health & Safety Executive)That remark got a thunderous round of applause from the audience.

All too often people are using H&S as an excuse not to do something or in my experience to complicate things.
The quote was from the Rivers Lecture to the City great and good (and me) but if there are constantly problems as suggested, then I'm sure Ms Hackett would like to hear about them.
