Ferdinand Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) The best educational H&S video I have seen. Ahem. Edited January 28, 2017 by Ferdinand 2
Triassic Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 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!
Barney12 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 LOL. The irony is much in that video is true
Ferdinand Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) For something made by an amateur at home in about 2007-8, the technical quality is excellent. "Even non-existent risk must be mitigated!". Edited January 28, 2017 by Ferdinand
joe90 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 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.
joe90 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Local council and HS&E officer, What a combination!, with regard his inability to be shocked perhaps he is just thick skinned ?. 1

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.................

H&S people do have excellent senses of humour, as long as the basic message is treated seriously. They have a Snopes style debunking website. http://www.hse.gov.uk/myth/myth-busting/index.htm Edited January 28, 2017 by Ferdinand
