"No worries, there was a special communication that was published to the accountable managers at the time, this was replicated in the UK Nasp and continued in the single consolidated direction when EUreg 300 came in".
What an absolutely wonderful piece of Yukspeak!!!!
Does anyone else out there (apart from the self-generating safety industry) actually know what any of that means?
As a stupid pilot (who still owns a valid pilots licence 54 years after going solo) I am reminded of one of my fellow professional pilots who made the famous comment that if "Health and Safety" were put in charge of Trafalgar Square, then we could accommodate three pigeons in total safety.
You mention "accountable managers". It has always been my experience that they ran for the trenches when something went wrong and none of them ever ended up as being "accountable".
Can anyone tell me the last time that a manager was actually held to be accountable?
Rant over (at least for now).
