Myth: Toy ‘weapons’ in a play had to be locked-up and registered with the police

The reality

Reports said that the theatre company were just following HSE’s guidance sheet.

HSE’s guidance is clear; it deals with real weapons and the kind of accurate replicas that can cause serious injury or be used in robberies. Not plastic toys.

We trust the play did well with all the free publicity!

Myth: If a pupil is hurt, the teacher is likely to be sued

The reality

The main legal duties lie with the employer, not the teacher – or even the head teacher, unless they own the school and employ the staff.

We can’t find a single instance in the past five years of a teacher being personally sued for compensation.

Over the years a handful of teachers have been prosecuted following very serious incidents, but only where they failed to follow direct instructions and departed from common sense.

Teachers who act responsibly will be on the right side of the law.

Health and Safety, You See

Iain Dale’s Diary: Health and Safety, You See: “Yesterday I visited ITN in Grays Inn Road. When I entered the building I was asked if I minded having my bag searched. No problem, I said. It’s a large briefcase type bag, which has a lot of pockets and carries my laptop. I undid the two clasps and expected the man to have a good ‘rootle’ (as we say in Essex) but he just stood there and looked inside – not that he could see much as it was crammed full. I asked him if he wasn’t going to search the bag. Oh no, he said. He couldn’t put his hands inside – health and safety, you see. And then came the clincher. ‘You never know what might be in there!’ There’s not a lot you can say to that, is there?”

bad safety joke

There was a young safety manager from Kent
Whose nose was all battered and bent.
One day he arose and followed his nose
And no one knew which way he went.

Manual Handling

During manual handling training a strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could out do anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of the site safety team.

After several minutes, the manual handling instructor had had enough.

”Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is,” he said. “I will bet a week’s wages that I can move something in a wheelbarrow over to that site hut that you won’t be able to wheel back.”

”You’re on, old man,” the braggart replied. ”Let’s see what you got.”

The manual handling instructor reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, ”All right. Get in.”
