    This health and safety rubbish has gone to far.Its designed to put the costs whether time or money on to small business. And help shut them down.Big companies can absorb the costs easy.Just more corporate grab as far as i'm concerned.Our great country is turning to shit slowly.

    H&S has been taken over by the bureaucrat fucktards. .The corporate sector got rid of a lot of the cunts when the GFC hit, the government was also axing jobs for the self important fuckheads. Along came a directive for ACC to maximize profits and wham the bureaucrats had found another home. H&S is now a parasitic organism that will consume it's host.

    ACC do not administer the Act nor have a role in enforcing it. WorkSafe have those roles, which is a different Ministry.

    The reality is, our work safety record is appalling and something had to be done. The catalysts for the change was Pike River. Or should have we just sat on our hands and left things as they were?
    Under this new Act directors' and owners can no longer hide themselves behind companies or managers and avoid prosecution or heavy penalties. Unfortunately, because of the "invisibles' " new liability they are pushing an avalanche of silly directives onto CEO's and they in turn are pushing it down the chain. As has been said, its arse covering. I expect that Ryan is caught up in that.

    But something had to be done. Some people simply need protecting from themselves, and some need to be protected from harming others'.
    The greater majority of accidents are avoidable. Mainly through changed behaviours rather than changing attitudes. A few who have made comments on here are unlikely to change their attitude, but the spectre of the Act over them might change their behaviours.

    The current legislation is far from perfect and requires amendments that I think will come, but its sending a wake up call about us having to stop harming people at work. And that's a good thing. Or do you think that the mayhem should be just left to continue?

    What's ironic with the new act is that it generates so much arse covering paperwork you can't be out onsite enough to supervise. Meanwhile petty beaurecrats swamp you with that much fuckin paperwork it's a joke. I spent a while fuckin morning replying to emails filling out investigation forms etc over some fuckin dust that got under a door.
    Meanwhile the cocksucker who spin out over a small amount of dust failed to notify security and his own fuckin maintenance dept we had booked a shut down to re route mains cables. I've got no problem investigating why some Muppet almost got 2 sparkies electrocuted . It's not the act it's the fuckwit oxygen thieves administering it.
