There are some right idiots about!

We had a guy hit in the face by a snow ball when crewing a loco last year, he insisted on going to casualty!.

Was sent home after 4 hours having been told he might get some slight bruising.

Should be fined for wasting valuable resources.

I like what has been said in previous posts about common sense going out of the window nowadays and the compensation culture taking over our lives. I was pushing my tool barrow between blocks of the factory i work in the other week, and later i had a visit by the factory safety officer. Apparently it had been reported to him that i did not keep to the designated walkway as i crossed the yard. He gave me a speech about the dangers of being hit by a fork lift truck or one of the delivery lorries which use the roadway within our factory. I informed him that the designated walkway led to an entrance in the other factory block with a six inch step which was impossible for me to wheel my toolbarrow up and through, and that i had to go through the roller doors. I also pointed out to him that i am not exactly a small person and if a driver could not see me in broad daylight then they shouldn`t be driving! He muttered something about not being able to sue the company if i got hit and walked away. Everything seems to be over the top nowadays in fear of being sued and common sense is ignored.

by law any accident at work, how little it is, has to be put in the accident book/report.

I can see the sense in some legislation - especially where both health and safety are concerned but a lot of this has fallen short of good common sense and has permitted the myopic implementers of such legislation, who seem to be joined at the hip to the running dogs of the Arse Coverers Charter, to run wild with gay abandon.

Was this lady Muffin the Mule's handler back in the fifties?

Yes Opti, it's the old fashioned gay and not this modern unpleasantness - not that there's anything wrong with it of course.

I bought with me to Spain two 3 metre long wooden scaffold planks. Very useful things to have when renovating a house. The fellow behind the counter (they have the J..... lot) asked me what I was going to use them for and wouldn't sell me them when I said well wheeling a barrow over them etc. Tried the next day with a different answer (shuttering for making a concrete slab)

Common sense as gone right out of the window,i was having a meal in a brewers fayre with friends of SWTSMBO who has two little ones,in this resturant is a ball pool...her two where in there and one of them banged heads wih another child...within seconds the staff were there with an accident form..now our friend was what the hell is this form for??....it is a simple case of children getting hurt while playing no need for form BUT the other parent oh no will need to fill this in...total stupidness

[jonnycool]

I hate accident forms 

[Webby the Bear]

Yesterday, in work, a first aider got called to one of our warehouse workers. It turns out that he had cut the tip of his little finger. Nothing serious, in fact nothing more than a paper cut which was bleeding a little bit. He insisted on an accident form being filled in.
   Next thing, his wife was on the phone asking to speak to her husband because if he had to go to the hospital, she wanted to go with him to make sure he was OK. He had obviously phoned her to tell her the devastating news.

I was just speechless - at times like these, I wonder:-

a) how we ever won a world war when our grandmothers and grandfathers produced showers of s**t like this
b) how we would ever win a world war again, when this is the calibre of soldier we are able to produce

Now I know that this isn't representative of most people out there, and we can still produce soldiers that are the envy of the world, and I have the utmost respect for them and their families, but as the compensation culture becomes the norm, I really fear for what we're heading for and how we'll cope if it ever happens 

very true. what a pussy.

i picked my bird up from hospital the other day (she's an occ. therapist) and some lad (admittedly he was only 16 or so) was being wheeled in to A & E screaming his head off. i noted he had a swollen ankle (worst case scenario broken, but most likely sprained and possibly torn ligaments). not saying im a rambo type but christ ive done the same thing about 6 times in my life and just got carried off the footy pitch each time and bundled in to someones car after the game. stuck a tubi grip on and a bag of peas job done.

if he wants to see serious injuries tell him to check out cisse playing for france against china (first pic)......
