  1. Excellent. That made me smile! I'm surprised they don't just lock the bathrooms up and only let you in if you've taken 0.5 days training and signed a disclaimer first...

    There's always (nearly always) the sign that says "This door MUST be kept locked shut AT ALL TIMES"

  3. No doubt those rules were drafted during several committee meetings and only after a full debate had taken place, with lawyers present, following the recommendations made in a risk assessment report. After all, we can never be too careful, can we?

    Oh dear - I wonder how I've managed to survive six decades of bathroom usage without following this vital H&S bollocks?

    How very patronising.

    How on Earth did we all survive before 'elf'n'safety?

    A 'Risk Assessment' tale. Some years ago I was employed (inter alia) to teach basic First Aid to teachers. With colleagues I attended a 'training course' led by a County Council official. We were told that the largest cause of injury needing hospital treatment amongst primary school children was - burns to the fingers from 'Hot-glue guns' while making collages

    These were in use as a "Risk Assessment" had deemed there was a danger that kids might be tempted to 'sniff' the white, water-based, PVA adhesive previously supplied.

    No 'solvent' = SAFE [Tick]

  7. Think that's fun, wait til someone sends you the set of instructions pinned to toilet cubicle doors in civil service offices.

    The only time I went on a 'Risk Assessment Training Day' (with Croydon Council, Ken) the chair I was sitting on collapsed, and we couldn't get out of the room because the doorknob came off in the instructor's hand!

    I really need to get you a copy of the latest H&S posteds from work. It lists ways people have hurt themselves, and I don't think it is intended as satire, but includes some priceless ones, such as "Cleaner fell on pineapple whilst answering door and injured back", and "Scaffolfder removed plank of wood then fell through gap".

    The really sad thing is - most of the preprogrammed drones dont see why it is funny and think it is useful advice.
