I doubt most would have the knowledge to make that decision, or the nerve.

Though much of it seems obvious, Health & Satety legislation was introduced for those who don't have 'mentors' watching their backs, and for the small minority of employers who don't rate the safety of those in their pay very highly.
Didn't really know what was dangerous (except when bombs were being found, rounds being fired fairly close and G-G missiles landing close by), if I felt i could do what was requested, I did it to the best of my availability. If i didn't think I could then I would say so and try and find an alternative solution - never got sacked from any job
