Site agents rule the world

[cliffed]

Right t...t of a site agent,requesting all workers at all times to wear hard hats,no shorts,he's always right on any works,told him literally to f..k off,real unpleasant site to work on,anyone had the same treatment.

 

[cliffed]

Funny enough though,it's a community hall,& church refurbish,when in church we are allowed to take hats off,god bless the site agent

There are some people who take delight in applying the rules, just because they are in charge. Rules & regulations are there for a reason, its just how they are applied, is an art some people just haven't got.

Agree

Depends on the site , most of the sites I worked on you would not need anyone to tell you to wear a hard hat, and it was intant dismissal if you did not have it on.
Shorts are possibly fair enough indoors in a cushy environment , but not really suitable for a construction site or most industrial locations.
Don't forget - he is the man carrying the can if you get hurt.

Agree....but....

Sigh.........hard hats, safety goggles, ear muffs sorry defenders, toe 'tectors, hi vis jackets, washing & toilet facilities, canteen etc etc. Makes you wonder how we survived all those years ago

Just done a health & safety course ,it says you must wear a hat if there is a danger of being hit on the head.
Safety footwear can be used,if there is a risk of your foot being injured,it's great ain't it.

It's the paper trail, and the scapegoat.
A lot of it is for the good though.
It's in the sentiment of the common sense poem.

Yea I'm afraid that t..t just wound me up,I gotta forget.....

Ah the good old days eh? Number 2s behind the nearest hedge, washing facilities no existent, wear what you like, stir your tea with a metal wall tie, up to your knees in mud, those were the days.

Happens to us all.
We used to get them straight out of university.

You gotta use those yellow step ladders too,I hate yellow.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair; and
- Maybe it was my fault..

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers:
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because
so few realized he was gone..
If you still remember him, pass this on.
If not, join the majority and do nothing.
