HSE Myth Busting a Huge Success

Health and Safety Myths

Following 3 weeks of promoting with clients the myth busting articles from the HSE we have seen huge improvements in the attitude of health and safety within businesses.

The voice of reasonable response to health and safety myths has enabled a degree of credibility to the majority of sensible health and safety actions.

Whilst many of the myths are just laughable, they are in actual fact very dangerous to workplace safety.

With the blame of these myths being placed at the door of the Managers, Directors and Boards of businesses not to mention the professionals working in the industry, it's little wonder why people would get the 'speed hump'.

"Eliminate Eliminate Eliminate..."

Those knee jerk reaction health and safety decisions, some of which resemble the Darlek's in Dr Who (or was that exterminate? :)), are probably the result of a misguided attempt at a hierarchy of control or a fear of repercussions of getting it wrong.

In some cases many just don't quite understand the implications of decisions and feel that banning some everyday tasks is more appropriate.

Perhaps with the success of this panel many will begin to consider risk assessment again, and we will see less of the mindless robots chasing Dr Who to do one!

Thank you HSE and the panel for providing an excellent service in this work.

Are you lost in the Tardis
