Health & safety

Its all about balance, there is no doubt that Health & safety procedures have saved a lot of people from needless injury, but they do get carried away with it at times....reflective hi viz jackets are excellent in low light conditions, but in bright sun light of course not, the problem then becomes defining low light, far easier to say wear at all times and i agree, early sun on the sunward side of an aircraft on a walk round can be twilight on the other side in the shadows..

e m a 123

For your route walk it ought be sufficient to say ' employee's are reminded to use designated footpath & crossings when on airport property land/air side.

I have seen people (at EMA) get off the staff busses and walk in front of them to cross the road only to be nearly flattened by other vehicles passing the stationary bus, i guess that's why you can't pass a school bus in the US

So e m a 123 Jet2 or bmi ? H&S department ?
