The Health and Safety 'myth squad' formed
A new panel of experts will help the public fight “absurd” health and safety rulings, ministers have announced.
The HSE is setting up a panel to provide quick advice to people who are subject to ridiculous or disproportionate health and safety decisions by insurance companies, local authorities and employers and to scrutinize such decisions.
The term 'health and Safety' is often incorrectly used as a convenient excuse to stop what are essentially sensible activities going ahead.
