Elaborate on the ridiculousness you are referring to.

 

Tevez, you are going to make SwissVann fill in a "Risk assesment" on you!

Personally, I think safety needs to be cut back quite a bit. People get used to it and take chances they wouldn't take if they didn't, for example, a harness. Look at the sky scrapers built in the 40's and 50's. They didn't have any safety gear and they didn't die daily.

 

Then you also have the matter of Darwin....

[Capricorn]

y'all should work in . omfs.

 

the latest risk assessment involves potential killing of insects... oh f'ing yay

[droo]

Elaborate on the ridiculousness you are referring to.

 

Many of the safety regs, signage etc etc are just common sense. To have someone tell you to watch where you're going on a scaffold at 15m is redundant IMO.

 

To a point it is necessary, but some of the stuff in H&S plans is just ridiculous...

Must agree!! Where were the OSHA dudes when the mall floor collapsed in KZN???

I reckon the people missing from the Tongaat collapse where the engineers and building inspector, the safety okes often will not know the difference between a dry wall and brick wall.

I am also in construction, for a huge international retailer, whom are k@k scared of litigation and the like, so safety is a serious, serious issue, but I don't have to fill in a form everyday and nor do I do it to my contractors etc.

This seems like another classic "CYA" form, someone has got into k@k so they are treating a symptom, not the cause.

It is things like this, that make us inefficient in our duties.

Not allowed to, I failed the Fatigue Self test and after advising my superior I as per item 5 I now have to apply corrective actions as per item 6 before I can continue using company equipment....

Is an acceptable answer to Number 1: I start work at 8, it is now 1300, so I have only had 5 hours.

So today we had a meeting at work stating we have to 'pull up our socks' regarding safety and this mean filling in a form before starting our work in the morning!!!

 

.........all because some oke switched on a xray machine remotely without going to check if the machine is still in tact (like all the panels on, etc) Just stupid I think!

 

Check the questions in the star (I added) though...Especially nr3!!

 

 

 

You can say something for their risk assessment method though

I fully agree on this. It is not done properly. I guarantee you that safety people who know their jobs well and specialise with construction know the difference.

It's fine. As long as he does a fully integrated assessment with control levels. And show the hazards, risks and consequences. Full SHEQLS will be appreciated too.

[Cellar]

SHEQLS? As in Arab currency? Cool!

Would have made no difference whatsoever. Looks like the owners / builders / contractors deliberately ignored multiple stop work orders including it seems one or two from courts. That mall did not have plans passed and was identified as being a danger, but every time the Thekwini council ordered them to stop they ignored the order and council was in the process of getting another court order.

If I dont have to do paperwork, I will take a salary cut.

Those same 4 questions are asked with a polygraph test.
