Well maybe my friend (the policeman) has got it wrong? After all he is only 23 an new to the job!

Better put a couple of signs up anyway

definitely matthew, take no chances.  I'm not knocking anyone who doesn't put signs up but its a claim culture now.

I don't really mean to knock anyone who doesn't put up signs. I know it's coming across that way. I'm an awful man to speak then think.

Steve,

just ignore me.

clear vision...how can the way I assess the risks in MY work environment  wind you up...

If you want to put signs up and feel the risk justifies this...then great...where I work in these pictures and the method I employ of laying hose has been correctly assessed for possible risks and I have decided it is LOW risk.

It is me who is responsible for risk assessment and if I am called to task, I will explain the reasoning and point out that in 2 years of such practice, there has not been 1 incident compromising a persons safety.

You assess risks on your workplace and I assess risks on mine...we cannot possibly pass constructive comment on eachothers reasoning if we do not actually work in that place...

steve is your hose the rubber blue hose?  If so I can do you a very special price on it (last forever though doesn't it)

Steve, I aint trying to wind you up, do you wait til there is an accident before you change your risk assessment? like jm123 says "we live in a claim culture". I see abandoned traffic cones all over the place, grab yerself a couple n chuck em in the back of the van, better safe than sorry. I guess you got a 250 ltr tank in your van? does it last you all day? I ask because I've the same and sometimes I have to be a bit more organised with my round to make it last a full day.

we`ll have to agree to differ...I personally think a traffic cone on the pavement is more of a risk than 1/2" hose...

I did wonder about it going across the road Steve, more from the point of it being damaged. I get irritated when someone drives over mine (mini bore) on a drive.Could it damage pump etc with back pressure?
Today's diary was less apirational than some of the others but still informative. It showed you in the light of say a football team that can still dig out a result when it has too.
You'd didn't finish your landline point in the other reply. Are you still getting a business line, or are you finding the mobile adequate?

I'll come find your hose while your working and trip over it

[steve k]

curious...I have the business landline in now on divert to my mobile...it is for my yellow pages ad really which has gone in this year.

I had someone park on my hose recently on their driveway.  Completely stopped the flow.
