Loved the bit when the instructor smacked his head into the ceiling! 

I thought it was a pretty good programme, it showed how over the top all this H&S is - what ever happened to common sense? But it also highlighted the need for safety regulations on bigger site work.
We all need some sort of rules granted, but not the petty crap like installing hand rails to go up two steps in an ancient church.

[tomy jackson]

it wont set me back 20 years as im WFP

[AuRavelling79]

Reading behind the "Daily Mail" type hype the BBC have fallen into with this programme did you notice what is behind it all? (besides the desire of consultants to make money out of jobsworth jobs in H&S?)

The fear of being sued!

Yes Tom, in triplicate You have to keep the reports in 2 languages too

[tomy jackson]

[JSMC]

people interpret it all worong and take the worst cae scenario and overload with procedures and ppe etc.
it's all about managing the risk.

also insurance companies play a massive part in it as a poster said "the fear of getting sued"

Just after starting WFP, I managed to hurt myself by tripping over my own hose.  I was fine on ladders though
