Health and Safety Madness

[zoco]

I've seen it all now...

Employees at my current client co are encouraged to issue health and safety challenges to co-workers.

The most common of these challenges appears to be when people forget to use the staircase handrail. When challenged, the challengee must accept the challenge and modify his/her behaviour accordingly. At this point, a handshake will ensue and the challenger will say the words "I am my brother's/sister's keeper".

I know you will find this hard to believe but it's really true. If anyone did that to me I think I'd probably be tempted to laugh!

You working in a Masonic lodge?

You can hardly blame the client though. As soon as someone falls down the stairs twisting their ankle in the process you'll those 'no win no fee' vultures suing for big bucks.

Oil & Gas Co?

I worked at one where all the H&S stuff seemed way over the top until I attended a short presentation that explained why.

As you can imagine H&S is pretty important on a rig or refinery and a large percentage of their staff would visit these environments on a regular basis so they decided to introduce the same rules across all sites to maintain standards, it was proven to reduce accidents dramatically.

I would then challenge him back by sticking an odourmonitor in his hands to check that he has washed since his last s**t

Also happens at a Norwegian O&G company I work with.

It is BP

If it's BP its 3 strikes and you're out. So it can't be as he would be out the door by now.
