You cannot lift an object at work over a certain weight, do not run on the apron for fear of falling...hold BOTH handrails when using the stairs on a platform, must wear a bright yellow reflective vest airside for fear that your bright red wollie jumper your favorite aunt knitted you AIN'T bright enough to see ,
"caution,hot coffee" on the cup, just in case you brewed a cold one,
but strap a helicopter to your butt sit up front fly to rigs day and night in crap weather with all the hazards that go along with it and you don't require head protection???

A friend of mine rolled a 206 and the blade came through the cockpit and hit his head, medics said the helmet saved his life........Many examples of this sort of thing are out there.....

Has the HSE with all it's petty rules asleep on this subject
