BBC News - Gilberd School in Essex fined over pupil ankle break
Outside court, Antonina Drury, of the Health and Safety Executive, said: "Children who wouldn't be expected to know what the risk was from unsupported timber were exposed to it in a area that was accessed by pupils day in, day out in normal school life."
==========================
Bear in mind these are secondary school pupils - surely an 11 year old knows that playing with planks of wood carries risks?
No wonder we can't compete with Asia. We need to scrap H&S. And HR. And lawyers. And estate agents.
