    Ditto. At least I try to stop them doing stupid things and hurting themselves - not easy with engineers

    Oh god, you're both H&S guys arent you? You do realise that things would get done a lot faster if you stopped poking your unwanted noses in and inventing hazzards that dont exist.

    that can't be right. H&S has nothing to do with preventing people doing stupid things. It's all to do with preventing their employer getting sued.

    Not really.

    As an employer I can see both sides of the argument, for example all our guys are trained in working at heights, harness use and inspection, PASMA certified etc. Good for stopping them falling off platforms.

    One of them got a telling off from site H&S for taking off his mandatory gloves to adjust a small buckle on his harness.

    Where is the common sense in that?

    Meant to be a second line analyst for a large IT company onsite at a large bank. Seems what I really do is 1st line, 2nd line, 3rd line projects and onsite support and all the other teams are on more than me.

    Work in IT for a large UK bank - work in a smallish team responsible for "IT strategy and technical direction" whatever that means. Prior to my current role I'd been an IT techie for 15 years or so.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.
