Health & Safety "ban" on RNLI lifeboat

Yes, it's a gem from the Daily Wail.

"Sorry, we'd like to come and rescue you from drowning but we have to conduct a risk assessment first."

And apart from which, it's the coastguard, not the RNLI.

Suspect boat was used in rescue. Rescue was pulled off, all good.

It could equally have been, " Girl and rescue crew drowned in H&S neglect catastrophe "

These guys, like all the RNLI volunteers are brave, hero types and deserve no criticism for anything. They did what they did on the sput of the moment.

If there is any criticism to be handed out it is to those that manage. If the boat was considered suspect then where was the replacement ?

This is not a " H&S gone mad " story it is a " bad management " story !!
