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.

Well done that man

I have a memory of sat in the works canteen eating my sandwiches, which was actually a container that housed all the site materials, boxes & cable drums were seating, a 3 bar electric fire was the site microwave, the toilet was round the back of the container, and the hand washing facilities were...well non existent. The heating for the container was, a donkey jacket, and nobody was wearing a hard hat, cos they hadn't been invented.

Least you could wear shorts if you wanted

No but felt liked i would of like to,just realised I didn't like him,he didn't like me,he said I had attitude,I've never had attitude in my life.

I got kicked off site once because I refused to write the word SPARE on a spare way in the db. the way i looked at it is someone came along and installed another circuit then it's got the word spare written on it.
You can tipex it out or get a sticker I guess but it looks messy.
Ridiculous really when I look back on it.
Site manager was an ar*e tho!

It seems to be the way it is now. The last site I was on we had to wear steel toe cap boots with sole protection, hard hat, gloves, safety glasses and if we took any of them off at any time while on the actual work site (not canteen) then it was a warning 2 warnings and the 3rd you are off site for good, I got told off twice for taking my glasses off just to wipe them as they was fogging up (they was anti fog glasses but I work very hard so still steam up) I even told him it was a lot more safe for me. To take them off and wipe them then to walk around not being able to see any thing in front of me but he didn't care that was the rules. I even cut my finger while working as I could not even see my hands properly to see what I was doing so stabbed my self with a screwdriver but again that was my fault for not working safely but if I had tried to wipe them and got caught I would of been off site haha its stupid.

I have to have a permit to use my stepladder worn on my sleeve like a nightclub bouncer.

It is a poem I often think of before I get wound up.

Nice, I've never read that one before

Its not so much health safety as it dont get sued culture. Let be fair if your income on the line if something goes ---- up and it found out that ignored a ruling from those above. You'd be a ------- too.

Here is another one for you then. Not a poem but the start of a prayer .

These stepbrothers of common sense also seem to be growing lads,they pervade all walks of life yet are worshipped by fools

Currently on a final warning to be kicked off site because I've been caught twice taking my plastic specs off to view a wiring drawing, same numpty advised me to lean one of the half height sides of a tower against a wall on top of an unsecured scaffold plank whilst (he) was wearing no safety specs, just so he could sort his problem out.... most H&S guys I've worked with are good ............but!!!!!

A risk assessments should be done and PPE used to reduce this risk however a lot of sites will operate as hard hat boots glasses gloves etc. across the board this way it is easier to administrate and protects their own back sides. You will find that the site manager that has come via a trade is much more practical regarding these matters.
