Or kids playing conkers? Leather footballs as Julia mentioned? Nothing wrong with applying health and safety properly, but those cases should not have been under scrutiny. Those who promote them are not worthy of employment in the health and safety business.<br />Perhaps if they'd employed common sense and applied it in the way it was originally supposed to be in the dark history you allude too? But they don't, do they? They'd rather kids stopped having fun than admit that they did something stupid.Quiet_Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575652127079681825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-23987636045178575162011-02-26T07:13:06.458+00:002011-02-26T07:13:06.458+00:00And then there's the Huyton schools ban on lea...And then there's the Huyton schools ban on leather footballs... :)JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-4470504768597047622011-02-25T20:41:50.971+00:002011-02-25T20:41:50.971+00:00"....and saved a bit of cash getting rid of t..."....and saved a bit of cash getting rid of the health and safety brigades."<br /><br />It is easily deduced that the Industrial Revolution first introduced your much detested 'health and safety brigades' to places of work. You correctly point out that there is usually a cost element in dealing with hazards and risks. Perhaps a lot of cash could have been saved if it had not been squandered on unnecessary guarding of machines. The contraptions had previously provided factory children with energetic and amusing dodge games. You see, accidents and ill health just befall the careless; or is it just those who lack your abundant commonsense, QM?<br /><br />MTGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
