Re: idiots
Sadly there seems to be more and more of them on sites these days !!
The worse ones are the little jumped up nobodys who have been given a bit of shout and it goes straight to their heads !!

Re: idiots
You couldn't make it up could you?
Sorry but there's no way I would cut through any gas pipe unless it was me who had turned off the gas first..............
Lucky there wasn't a rather big bang and nothing left of the gent concerned.

Re: idiots
Thats ridiculous!
I was on a site where they were giving labourers abit of authority and they ended up giving out these red and yellow cards willy nilly! Even red carded a guy for not puttin shutters on at night! We kept finding them doing things that everyone would deem unsafe and asking them why they werent red carding eachother....Jokers!

Re: idiots
This just sums up what is wrong with British industry.The firm I work for is a good example.Preach safety,but when it costs money turn the other way.
The HSE and "safety" managers have got it all wrong.Instead of instilling safe working methods with a bit of common,they come up with stupid ideas and risk assesments that can cause more accidents than they prevent.
On top of that you then get managers /formen who have not got a clue.Thank god I work alone all the time.If I make a cockup it my fault.
