    Myth: HSE bans this, that and the other 


    The reality

    There have been many reports of HSE, and health and safety law, being responsible for banning all sorts of things. For example, flip flops at work, knitting in hospitals, school sports days, a charity Christmas swim and even cuddly toys on dustbin lorries.

    Actually, HSE has banned very little outright, apart from a very few high-risk exceptions (e.g. asbestos which kills over 5,000 individuals a year). HSE believes that health and safety should be about taking practical steps to manage real risks, not bureaucracy leading to the banning of everyday activities.

    Next time you hear of a ‘ban’, if in doubt check it out.

    Training 

    Safety Manager to job candidate: “I see you’ve had no safety training. Although that qualifies you for upper management, it means you’re under-qualified for our entry level positions.”

    Heaven or Hell…. 


    Heaven or Hell: “An engineer/safety professional dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his file and says, ‘Ah, you’re an engineer/safety professional. Sorry but you’re in the wrong place.’ So the engineer/safety professional reports to the gates of hell and is let in.

    Pretty soon, the engineer/safety professional gets dissatisfied with the level of safety and comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer/safety professional is a pretty popular guy.

    One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, ‘So, how’s it going down there in hell?’

    Satan replies, ‘Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators, and there’s no telling what this engineer/safety professional is going to come up with next.’

    God replies, ‘What??? You’ve got an engineer/safety professional? That’s a mistake. He should never have gotten down there; send him up here.’

    Satan says, ‘No way. I like having an engineer/safety professional on the staff and I’m keeping him.’

    God says, ‘Send him back up here or I’ll sue.’

    Satan laughs uproariously and answers,’Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?’”
