The problem is that this requires thought and the H&S nazis can't let any of us think for our selfs.
One of the primary reasons for H&S is to stop people having to think about their own welfare as being human we occasionally forget/make mistakes.
In risk assessment the reliance on a human being for the operation of a safe system of work is always deemed the last choice, with removal of the risk, physical barriers and safer alternatives among others are the preferred routes.
Hate H&S if you must but it wasn't too long ago when Crown Immunity ruled the roost and horrific accidents happened often, with no comeback for those injured through MoD negligence.
