Ahmen to that mate,

 

[rcproperty]

im not goin to keep quite about safty and things like that.

i dont mind how you work, thats up to you guys, but when people start telling other new guys to work unsafe thats taking there lifes and jobs in there own hands.

i've changed sockets without turning power off for quickness coz I know i can do it, but i wouldnt dream of telling someone to do it,

i have over reached on ladders when screwing things into walls, but i wouldnt tell others to do that.

there has been a few times on here. they might not see it as unsafe cause they have been doing it for years, but to new guys that never have done anything like it, it can be unsafe.

Nicely put Gary

 

[rcproperty]

yer its all this red tape, and like you say suing world that we live in today. but it is nice to know what you do is good and that you cover your own a$$. i know if i have an accident and i should hurt someone, i know everything is there in place to cover it all in a court of laws eyes. but if a cowboy one does the same and not got all the things in place he isnt covered. even if he has insurance.

Yep this country has gone crazy with it. Some things are so out their stupid. But sadly we all have to follow it, well at least let them think we do. But the arguments have to stop so what if someone mentions health and safety they are only saying what we have to do in this day and age even if none of us do agree with it. But let's not through a tantrum everytime we don't like a post just go read another /emoticons/biggrin.png

must admit i find it funny that no-one wants to know about the helath & safety side of things and how the law works and looks at things in certain cases tho! thought some people would like to know how to protect themselves against possibley loosing what they worked so hard at building up.
