Has anyone seen this story.?

HSE are sending farmers and agricultural people little green ties to put on anything that may appear to be dangerous?

? = tractors are now to have on ther tractors to make people aware they are dangerous- A farmer of 40 years was interviewed.

You can imagine what they coudnt show

Those crazy people with nothing to do find a opportunity to waste money -

I feel sorry for the kids that had to stop playing conkers on one of there previous conquests.

What ever happened to common sense ? It's all turned into a complete nanny state. Hope I get some of these tags - that way it'll remind me not to put my head in the wood shredder next time I have it on....

Health & Safety - don't even get me started ! lol!
I appriciate that they're only trying to help, one place I worked had to put a sign on the kettle saying 'Caution water may be hot' - of course it'll be hot, it'll be boiling - that's the point.
No matter how many signs, tags or neon yellow paint they use, you just can't legislate against idiots

But on the other hand, when I worked in local government the electrical wiring traversed the room, so that we had to either roll across on our chairs or risk tripping ourselves up. When after many complaints I phoned health and safety I got a real dressing down in front of the others, from our then manager. It was not that many years ago either.
