Hi everyone,
I often think theres too much emphisis put on health and safety ,if one feels safe and is happy to take a little risk ,then why not ,its getting the job done thats most important .life is secondry ,the whole nature of contracting is to get in and out asap ,its the beurocrats that wont take a bit of a risk once in a while, that make the rules thesedays,its all designed to cost us money,why rent scafold ,if a ladder will do just as well,ive often worked off pallets on a forklift ,were going soft ,if your daft enough to fall off something .then maybee a job down the tool hire centre is a better bet ,site work is becoming boring ,they even want you to work less hours ,so you dont get tired,ah.
site work is only fun if its an adrenaline trip ,never tried it as an acid trip yet but that might be a good way of making it more exciting,have fun in life ,live dangerously its ok ,you only die a bit quicker ,be a hero,but have fun before they brain wash you all!
all the very very best in the whole wide and wonderfull world

The reason legislation is put in place is because of people like you.

So you want to take a risk when doing a job, most of the time it's not you who's taking the risk gets hurt but some other poor sod!

Tell him if he is seriously injured or his family if he gets killed that I took a risk but really I should not have!

I think, if your doing a job, I settle it between.

Can I afford to be off work / how risky the work is / how long would I be off for / was it stupid?

Isn't it down to the amount of people wanting to claim against their company which has increased health and saftey?
