A lot of it is just common sense put into writing for those that dont have any.
Most people have little bumps and falls still dont report it or sue the company because they want to keep there job.
I still see dangerous things going on and usually comment when I do.
Walked away from a job a few years ago when the idiot in charge of the job was about to hacksaw an 11KV cable that he knew was the right one because he put it in the ground 15 years before. I laughed and said I cant remember what I had for my tea last week.
The correct procedure is and always has been to prove the cable dead at point of work using a device that basically fires a chisel through the cable with an exploding cap while you stand a long way away.
What I am trying to say is that is does not matter what safety procedures are put in place people will still get hurt because they ignore them.
I am big on H&S but only when its sensible and correct. I see to many stupid ideas still.
