The reality:
There are few greater myths than that health and safety has gone mad.
During the last four years we've debunked some truly ridiculous misrepresentations of health and safety, including the banning of conkers, firemen's poles and park benches. We've scotched scare stories about excessive safety signs, rebutted rumours about onerous risk assessments and kicked back at claims that kids need to be wrapped in cotton wool.
This trivialisation concerns us.
It confuses businesses about their responsibilities and workers about their rights.
HSE publishes advice setting out the sensible and proportionate steps we can all take to deal with workplace risks properly.
Remember, health and safety is about saving lives, not stopping them.
If it is too late and you or a member of your family has been injured in an accident at work in the past three years, as a result of inadequate health and safety provisions, call our specialist personal injury solicitors on 0800 0384 384 or click here to book a free no obligation meeting
