Does it take this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/10539463.stm type of accident before incompetent and lax workers are taken to task.
However I must admit in the past I have followed plans blindly and have not questioned if safe. When one works some where that safety is taken seriously like working in Toyota's factory at Deeside then you move else where one realises that the safeties are missing.
But until you see what should be in place one does not even think of what may happen.
Not commenting on this case that would of course be wrong but I wonder if our apprenticeship or at least the formal training should instead of having general studies should include some health and safety training so we are all aware of the possible routes.
132.15.2 Every fixed electric motor shall be provided with an efficient means of switching off, readily accessible. easily operated and so placed as to prevent danger.
So simple but how many times is it not observed?
