Then stop replying .

I take chances thats for sure but I try not to endanger anyone else.

Try? By doing all those things you have described to us?

HSW impresses the need for every worker to work safely with due regard for anybody else, be it customers, employers, members of the public, whoever.

You do not. What will it take for you to change your ways? An injury or death caused by your negligence?

Just because you've got away with it so far, it does not mean your methods of work are safe or acceptable, just that you've been very lucky.

Don't stretch it.

Does anyone know if Part P covers changing fuses in 13 amp 3 pin plugs on extension cables. ??
The 13 amp fuse was continually blowing when I was using the welder so I just cut a small length of 6mm copper capillary pipe and placed that in the plug .

Maybe Part P doesn't cover fuse changing & using portable equipment (especially 230V drills) but PUWER98 does

Ive been on so many industrial site safety induction courses I could recite the words in that link backwards without even looking at it.

RF,
He`s laughing at us `cos we are not sure whether he`s serious or not and let`s face it we all know someone that daft.
Wind up surely, please it must be (I hope, I really do hope)

You're taking the p*ss now.

Did you parents not give you enough attention as a child?

I think we should take this guy's advice - let's stop replying and he can talk to himself from now on...

Fortunate?? Are you for real?

You bet. Safety officials cannot police the sites I work on and thats the way I like it.

It may suprise you if you should ever end up in court for your part killing someone.

Did he survive?

No.

How does this make you feel, like his life was an inconvenience to work or something?

How did you manage to trip on your harness if you were wearing it?

Coming back down the step ladder. The safety rope which was about 4m long was rolled up and slung over my shoulder and a loop of this rope fell of while I was coming down and I didnt see this happening quick enough and tripped me up causing me to twist my back as I fell to the ground.
I was three steps up on the step ladder ( less than a meter or so)which gave me access to the suspended above ceiling where I was carrying out my work .

Did you have the rope dragging along the ground or something?

See above.

Did the harness have a shock absorber?

Yep

Was there a secure point to attach the harness?

Nope. I was working under a suspended ceiling.

Was there a rescue plan in place?

Not that I was aware off .

So what was the point in wearing a safety harness if there was nowhere to attach it?? Are you trained in the use of harnesses? Did you know a shock absorber needs something like 2 meters to be effective? Did you take this up with the site safety advisor or just carry on regardless?

It wouldnt suprise me at all. We had a close shave a couple of months ago when a fly jib collapsed and nearly dropped 2 tons on a guys head.

The safety officer was an inconvience to my work and I ended up injured because of his incompetance. Thats why I walked off the site.

Exactly.

Are you trained in the use of harnesses?

Yep.

Did you know a shock absorber needs something like 2 meters to be effective?

Yep. I knew it but the safety officer didnt. As I said before I would have wrapped the harness around his neck and throttled him after I fell of the ladder , had I been fit.

Did you take this up with the site safety advisor or just carry on regardless?

You bet I did. But it made no difference.
Prior to falling off the ladder a workmate was thrown off the site for not wearing his harness.
Again he was not operating in a dangerous area and was issued with a harness which was designed for roof top operations.
