Have seen some of these on Safety courses, but some new beauties there!  Wish i could find the multi-forklift one, though - takes some beating!  Skruntie??

[theolodian]

Is he welding the fuel tank?  :-?

The Fork lift one is a good one . Must give this to my fork lift driving trainers.

[philhoward]

Found it...

[Mr Skrunts]

Must say we pulled some stunts at work over the years, then I read some of the stuff TheBoys did working for BT.  But I think they were all tame by the standards of some of these idiots.

The 2 that worry me are the forklift (above pictice -lifting annother forklift) and guy drilling above the pool.

Yep - no safety shoes!  What was he thinking....  At least he's got his eye protection..

All brilliant of non-H&S practice, which has added to those I have witnessed in my time engaged in company H&S training.

....and some reckon we do not require H&S legislation?!!

Made me feel very worried

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

All very funny /crazy.

I think we do go a little too far with 'efl 'n' safety in general.
Obviously in all the above cases Common Sense has completely gone out of the window.      

[Mr Skrunts]

I think this country suffers by following the US.

Now that we have solicitors offering no win/no fee and we claim costs from your works in case of an accident etc then I think they have become over cautious in the work place to avoid such claims.

In many cases, H&S just defines Common Sense.  Sometimes it goes mad, normally as a knee-jerk reaction to something no-one thought of before.  
One i still can't figure out is wearing a hard had when working at height.  If you fall, it'll come off anyway - so whats the point there?

How about the French requirement to wear a Hi-Viz vest while maroroned on the hard shoulder (or whar ever the French might call it  ) A hi-viz vest isn't going to stop the car whose driver has fallen asleep.

H&S not nearly as evolved in the US!
