Elfin Safety
25 Answers
Have just been reading through the elfin safety manual. Got to be one of the most boring subjects ever. It just made me think.... do you know of anyone that has actually got their hair / tie / sleeves / fingers caught in the shredding machine?
Just a thought. I might do it with my hair, just for a laugh.

Some of it is well OTT. There was a 'house rule' here that we were not allowed to walk while talking on our mobile phones, it's been reduced to not talking while walking on stairs now though.
Also, a new 'house rule' is that if you're driving on Company business, then no using the mobile phone at all - not even hands free.
Our water coolers were taken away from us due to 'safety' - apparently we are likely to catch germs from the nozzle the water comes out.
Finally, if we're 'caught' by another member of staff walking up and down stairs without holding the banister, then we have a HOC (Hazard Observation Card) raised against us!

I do banned things too LOL
I am a little OCD about the banister - there's a lot of people in this building and I'm willing to bet most of the men and some women don't wash their hands after the loo!
We have a reverse parking policy too, which is fair enough, but the reason they gave??
"It makes it easier to leave in an emergency"
Excuse me for being pedantic, but with the amount of people in this building, most have cars, if everyone tried to leave at the same time in said "emergency", we'd be up the creek reverse parked or not.

You're right Salla ...
It can be a bit OTT.
These statements of policy seem to work on the basis that everyone is a complete half-wit.
Some of the companies from whom I get business require all of their service providers to have Health and Safety Policies ... so I have a long, detailed Health and Safety Policy.
Sitting on my own, here in my spare bedroom, with just my computers for company, I'm reassured to know that, if I pop into the kitchen for a coffee, the whole water boiling process is carefully regulated by my policy documentation.

I take it you answered C knobby!
Some of the rules that are put in place in the name of health and safety are just plain stupid, though my favourite one for where I work is to do with working with some of the chemicals. we have a big sign it that area that recommends you check your testicles on a regular basis!
it doesn't' stipulate if this should be done while at work or in your own time!

Ah well you see, the trick is to go self employed. I can sit on my sofa with my lappy on my knee holding a cup of coffee and a fag; I can run up and down the stairs without holding anything, in the dark (and naked should I wish); I don't have to wear a hard hat (although I do wear a rather fetching black felt one), I can drive my car as fast as I like, park in whatever direction I choose on my drive, smoke a fag while I am doing it and yack to my heart's content on the phone (hands free of course). If I do have an accident its my own damn stupid fault!!
