Worry over coffee risk
This is the title of a article in the telegraph i cant find a link to it as its just a fill in piece so will print it below:D
The leaders of Lancashire county council are to install a £343 coffee machine in there offices- to reduce 'risks'. A report said the espresso-maker would improve the hospitality facilities of the cabinet and lead members room, used by members of the ruling Tory group It added "it would reduce the current health and safety risks which occur though staff having to make the refreshments themselves":D lazy lot what happened to the tea-lady with the trolley going round So remember be care full making your brew or Health and safety could get you:D |
Re: Worry over coffee risk

Who's going to handle their cups though, and hold the cups to their lips, after blowing on the hot coffee for them, to reduce the risk of the poor County Councillors burning themselves?
Whilst the rest of the county suffers the recession, at least those in County Hall can enjoy a Skinny Latte, without putting themselves in too much danger. Let them eat cake, and drink a frothy cappuccino. New coffee machine for Lancashire council leaders to 'reduce risks' (From Lancashire Telegraph) |

:rolleyes: The Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Parkinson's disease support group manage to make brews without any accidents, even if the cups and saucers rattle a bit, and our kettle cost £9.99. |

As I've said many times before, God bless health and safety.
To think I've been putting my life on the line several times a day all these years by brewing up using a kettle..... |

Re: Worry over coffee risk
I really don't see a problem with it except for pretending its for health and safety reasons.
In the main office area at work is a kettle, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, oven, dishwasher and a sink with chilled and boiling water point. All the meeting rooms have coffee/tea machines as well. Maybe the more interesting question would be who is paying for the tea and coffee supplies the new machine uses? . |
Re: Worry over coffee risk
May be the most interesting question is - why on earth did someone feel the need to tell the press about this? It's a coffee machine (edited out vile language) - it's not of importance to anyone. It's not even a particularly expensive one for an office.

I was a little concerned about them buying a cheap one and it not lasting long as well. |
