strict sites

[Dean Williams]

has anyone worked on really strict sites

im currently testing on the largest site ive ever worked on in Runcorn, where 'whistleblowers' are rewarded with offers of flat screen tellies, meal vouchers etc. There's been 2 strikes so far...

There you go, that will keep you in the wide awake club if you drink enough.

I found that by reducing my intake coffee levels to "normal" from almost 1 per hr all day/night from the moment I got up I could eventually get a full 5hrs sleep per night!!

i used to be like that with one an hour

It is, just look at teenagers, they want to sleep till the afternoon, no matter how early or late they go to bed. As you get older it seems you need less sleep, i can function just as well now on 5 hrs (or a little less) sleep, that i used to need 8 hrs for... lol!!

Definitely insomnia.

Nope it's worse than insomnia, it's glyndebourne opera on tour!

I was referring to me, work out what time I wrote that. I think I got to bed at 08:00.

I know, but I am in much the same boat, rarely able to sleep until the early hours of the morning.
It's just this week I have the excuse of working overnighters!

Sounds like a picnic lol. Offshore its say goodbye to your mobile phone and lighter for 3 / 4 weeks. Green hard hat and an escort if new on some platforms and rigs. Stop Cards, Time out for Safetys and Safety Stand Downs when incidents occur. Then theres the weekly abandon muster at 3 am just as your are dozing off.
And the latest one to me, hearing protection must be worn when outside the accommodation because sound levels are above 75db LOL!

So exactly what HSE regulation was ignored?Please be be specific, direct, and succinct.

"Hello Besoeker",

THIS IS THE FULL PARAGRAPH THAT YOU QUOTED PART OF:


There is an Extreme example of what can happen when Health & Safety Regulations are NOT adhered to - in this case relating to the Storage of the Gas Cylinders - not in Cages or Racks / and not using Safety Caps on the Valves etc.


THE PART THAT YOU LEFT OUT WHEN QUOTING ME [IN RED] INDICATES WHICH AREAS OF HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONS TO LOOK AT REGARDING THESE `UNSECURED / IMPROPERLY STORED GAS BOTTLES`.


Regards,

Chris

I have to say I'm in favour of "strict sites". The firms that encourage reporting of unsafe practices should be commended.
Cos there's always some cock who's too clever to take safety seriously. The main problem with that, is invariably some other poor sod gets injured as a result. Having said that I'm a borderline marxist, trade unionist, and I'm currently swatting for another H&S exam so I'm a little bit brainwashed LOL

Lol you guy's....I could tell you about many more strict sites and the mad stuff they come up with. Even as an apprentice I was on a secure mental hospital in Scotland where we all had to sign a disclaimer to say if we left anything behind that was then used by the patients to cause harm or injury to themselves or others then we would be liable. Tool box's emptied of everything except the essentials for each days work....Inventory checked on the way in and checked on the way out....some prat still managed to "loose" a hacksaw blade...still it all ended ok as it was found in a patients room lol.
All the stuff mentioned in the op's rundown of site measures I have seen on numerous sites. As stated you/we are trying to bypass dawinism and this is what we are left with. I actually agree that lots of groups make far too much cash out of it all. Also as stated it is because directors can find themselves in the dock facing time add to that the financial implications for big firms on big jobs if one of their idiots/workers gets themselves killed.....This is why H&S is so huge and overbearing.

Sounds like that nice place that is mentioned in the news all the time,I used to go out with a nurse that worked in there,but she never ever spoke about her work.
