    Indirectly through certain clients that my company contract to, Health and safety has become an all encompassing juggernaut that has more to do with ass covering than tenable gains in workplace safety.
    Corporate safety officers and managers with no task experience, generally dreaming up bullshit policy that they feel keeps them safe from repercussion.
    Try as they might, stupidity and risk cannot be completely legislated out of the work place. I find working on a heavily regulated site very sterile and the part of the workforce that thrives are generally yes men. Little flair for problem solving, imagination or drive and in my experience no safer than industry sectors which are less regulated.
    Industry is set to tip in favour of the corporates as they love regulation and costs involved in compliance, it squashes small business as they can't readily absorb the cost.

    My feelings, thoughts and experience exactly, the fun has gone from many workplaces, they have become like police states, very sad in many cases!
