I don't see any of the actual workplace health and safety legislation being changed - as the science behind it is good - certainly the manual handling / work related upper limb disorder / display screen stuff. PUWER just codifies training etc as a mandatory part of working life without creating loads of speciic legislation and association enforcement bodies ( imagine a world where fork truck licences were administered by the DSA and DVLA and site shunting required the relevant LGV licence etc, imagine if you will also where doing anything remotely technical with tools was like the high speed / power abrasive wheels stuff) )
Zealotry and unnecessary use of PPE etc is more down insurers and the feckwittery of some of the people in H+S positions who've been put there with a IOSH general certificate becasue it was felt initially this was a place they posed less of a threat to operations of the organisation while still retaining their 'manager' / ' salaried staff' status ...
Agreed.Zealotry and unnecessary use of PPE etc is more down insurers and the feckwittery of some of the people in H+S positions who've been put there with a IOSH general certificate becasue it was felt initially this was a place they posed less of a threat to operations of the organisation while still retaining their 'manager' / ' salaried staff' status ...
Some useful regulations that have ensured some people are still alive who might otherwise have not been.
