Health & Safety has gone mad. What can we do ?

Hi,

Apart from banning snowballs and conkers at school, which is madness in itself, adults are warned about sunbeams.

I lived and worked in the Mid-East for 8 yrs, wandering around in temperatures of well over 100 deg F. No problems.

Goggles when using blue tack !

There are thousands of examples of this, replacing common sense with rules.

I suspect that a lot of it is jobsworths doing.
ie nothing better to do except dream up more rules.

It will be don't let the kids play in a playground in case they fall off the swings next, if we are not careful, and should ignore a lot of this nonsense.

What do you reckon ?

Anoher one this morning. 15 year old going for work experience at property developers and council insisted on safety check and £350 insurance. Sounds almost reasonable until you know that thre property developer is his dad and the premises are his own home!
 
Current Health and Safety is just another branch of P.C. Totally mad. I blame the American, all started with the compensation culture.
 
It's already happened. No running in the school playground, children should wear goggles when using Blue-Tack and egg boxes should not be used for model making.
I wonder what health and safety have to say about sticky back plastic.
