Health and Safety is a subject that often crops up on this site - many folk get quite annoyed when a new bit of 'elf and safety legislation' comes along and prevents them from doing something. Well it seems you have an unlikely ally in the form of the Health and Safety Executive, who are seemingly fed up with being blamed every time an organisation makes an unpopular decision:

Hmm. That's rather the point: there isn't actually that much 'new legislation' coming along - it's usually just some occasionally over-zealous interpretation of existing legislation. Roll Eyes

By the way: my reference to a 'point' does not imply in any way that there is any sharp object contained within this particular post. Nevertheless, your attention is drawn to the potential dangers of sharp objects which may possibly appear in adjoining posts.

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Also possibly deleterious to your health and safety are CfNs humorous asides. Sides may be split, heads may be laughed off, rolling on the floor laughing may occur and you could end up in stitches.

On reflection, maybe not the case with CfN's preceding post. A mild titter or slight chortle whilst sitting down will suffice.
