I'll be using this excellent video as part of my extensive pre-work site induction training day, thanks for bringing it to my attention, it's probably saved me thousands!

For something made by an amateur at home in about 2007-8, the technical quality is excellent.

My mate is an ex health and safety officer and he is a complete PITA, I love to wind him up because as an ex mountaineer and climber when on site I am always bounding around at height with no protection?

Try having a brother, with whom you've never really got on, as a local council HS&E officer.........................

 

This is the same brother, who, when doing a new build wiring job around 30 years ago, went around testing to see whether circuits were live by poking his finger on the line connection.  By some fluke he has a very high body resistance, or perhaps just a high skin resistance, which means he can feel 240V but doesn't get a shock from it.

Local council and HS&E officer,   What a combination!, with regard his inability to be shocked perhaps he is just thick skinned ?.

A dire combination indeed. It's also my belief that his skin is thicker than that of a rhinoceros - it may be why mine is a bit thin at times, he got the lion's share from our parents.................
