I haven't got a lot of time for all the tedious regulations we have to obey at work. The Health and Safety rep is the most annoying bloke in the yard. He is always shouting about some breach of the regs, not lifting properly, failure to wear a high vis jacket etc. You name the infringement and he has made a note of it in his little book. But there are certain safety instructions I think anyone would be mad not to follow. Like wearing steelies (steel capped boots)and eye protectors.
Two weeks ago at CS we were given the choice of indoors or out door work. I usually choose out door but we were close to the road and I don't want to be spotted. I got my job before I went to court and don't want to loose it because some sneak sees me in the 'chain gang' The job we were asked to do was chipping tiles off a shower room wall, PPE? Forget it. Dust and chips of tiles flying everywhere and no goggles or masks. I got some cuts on my hands and arms but luckily neither the person I was working with nor I got anything in our eyes, the dust made us cough though. Last Sunday I took my own goggles and face mask, just as well, we were doing the same job.
