Employement Law – Health and Safety Urban Myths

The UK Government has set up a panel of “mythbusters” in the light of increasingly outlandish health and safety decisions by councils and insurance companies. The absurd decisions often force employers worried about employment law consequences to take disproportionate and sometimes ridiculous measures to deal with everyday events.

As part of the initiative the Health and Safety Executive has launched a “Top Ten” of the most startling such myths.

Coming straight into the top ten at No.10 is “Graduates ordered not to throw their mortar boards in the air”.

The countdown is listed in full below, but the top three of the health and safety hit parade, sees “Trapeze artists being ordered to wear hard hats” avoiding a fall at No.3; while sticking strictly at No.2 is “Office workers being banned from putting up Christmas decorations”. And the No.1 is the blockbuster “Children banned from playing conkers unless they are wearing goggles”!

Minister for Employment Chris Grayling said: “All too often jobsworths are the real reason for daft health and safety decisions. We want people who are told they cannot put up bunting or play conkers to know there is no basis in law for such rulings.”

We have several employment law barristers that have had many discussions over this!

If you are worried about employment law ramifications in your organisation the Health and Safety Executive website says: “We want people to work with us to challenge these myths – the time has come to end the madness!” You can find out everything you need to know about this and other health and safety topics on their website.

In the meantime, that Top Ten of Absurd Safety Myths is as follows:

1.     Children being banned from playing conkers unless they are wearing goggles

2.     Office workers being banned from putting up Christmas decorations

3.     Trapeze artists being ordered to wear hard hats

4.     Pin the tail on the donkey games being deemed a health and safety risk

5.     Candy floss on a stick being banned in case people trip and impale themselves

6.     Hanging baskets being banned in case people bump their heads on them

7.     Schoolchildren being ordered to wear clip on ties in case they are choked by traditional neckwear

8.     Park benches must be replaced because they are three inches too low

9.     Flip flops being banned from the workplace

10.  Graduates ordered not to throw their mortar boards in the air

My friend is really excited, as she’s had the all clear to more into the house she’s been building for the last year. Obviously builders have done the majority of the work but she’s had a hard time of organising things such as digger and fencing hire along with budgeting, time frames and getting her hands dirty with work which she can complete herself. She’s found haggling for things such as fencing hire difficult as she’s always left it to her previous husband but I think she’s now really confident so it’s helped in many different ways and she’s now got some valuable contacts such as easyfencinghire.co.uk who provided her with fencing hire.

My husband will spend such a long time researching something which we plan to do it does take a long time to finalize it. Although it’s annoying it has helped us a lot because he always knows exactly what we should be expecting from the service or product and how much we should be paying and where from. When it came to needing toilet hire prices he found out what we should expect and not only did he ring a few toilet hire companies for quotes but he came across a site called tuxebo.co.uk which provided several different quotes so we found the best price. His annoying behaviour paid off with toilet hire.

In the topsy turvey world of DIY, we get all sorts of people trying their hand at pulling their house apart, and then fitting it back together again in a way that boggles the mind. They will throw paint at the walls, shove lights into the ceiling, ram doors into doorways, and fitting skirting boards where the skirting board or mdf skirting board was destined to be. The problem with this is however, that standard DIY fitters have no clue generally as to how to fit the skirting board properly, and end up causing more damage than whence they started. We ask, we pray, get a professional to fit your skirting or you may end up a DIY statistic!

When it comes to sorting out grab hire I feel like I know everything about it at the moment. I’ve been working on our new home with different building companies and I feel like I’m always contacting Tuxebo.co.uk for grab hire so they can complete their jobs. I’ve got to admit I won’t use any other company than them as they provide a variety of quotes for grab hire which means I always pay the least amount of money possible which is an added bonus as I’m always working on a tight budget. 

My housemate isn’t the most intelligent person in the world and it finally become even clearer recently. We are having some work done on the house so we sorted out skip bin hire so we could get rid of al the rubbish. I left her to meet easyskiphire.co.uk whilst I was at work and I assumed she would be sensible in regards to telling them where to put the skip bin hire but no, she decided to put it in our parking space so we’ve now got no where to park.

My friend has always been slightly eccentric but I think she’s taking it to a whole new level. She sorted out cheap skip hire a few weeks ago and I thought it was because she was doing work on the home but I suppose that’s too simple for her and she sorted out cheap skip hire so that she could keep her micro pigs in there. Apparently they keep escaping and need to be somewhere with walls so she came to the decision cheap skip hire was the answer! I wonder whether easyskiphire.co.uk know why she’s got the skip.

I think it’s a shame these days we complain about a bad service but we don’t talk about a good service so I thought I’d put the time and effort in to tell you about my recent skip hire leeds. I’ve never had to get skip hire leeds quotes before so I didn’t really know what was expected and what were good prices. I came across a site called tuxebo.co.uk and I’ve got to say they were fantastic not only did it save me money on my order but they gave me several skip hire leeds quotes so I could choose my own. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone.
