With a view to counteracting the daft decisions being blamed on Health and Safety, the HSE has decided to publish a myth of the month webpage, backed up with a myth busters challenge panel. The panel allows you to check if Health & Safety does apply to situations, or it is being used to stop sensible activities going ahead. An example of a case they investigated was where an employer wanted all employees to wear high viz tabards even when their job was regarded as low risk. The panel quickly ruled that this was outside the remit of health and safety as their job was deemed to be low risk.
Just to reassure you all about some classic ones that most of you may have come across and think it is Health & safety gone mad – children do not need to wear googles when they are playing conkers and can still pin the tail on the donkey.
