Damn those H&S people for trying to impose reasonable safety measures!
It's like living Nazi Germany!

It's not the reasonable, well-thought-out ones that are the problem
I mean even crap like "only use the right hand side of the stairs and always use the handrail on pain of a fine/bollocking/disciplinary" is almost- almost- acceptable.

It's when the rules are applied without thinking- for example the OP probably wouldn't have fallen off (assuming he did because of it being muddy as is implied) if he'd had a sheet of wood underneath him to spread the weight and stop him sinking. But the rules as far as $jobsworth knew didn't say anything about that, and it didn't even occur to him that the rules might not be the whole story in this situation.

Rules
are there for the advice of wise men and the blind acceptance of fools

Fuck the rules
If you are stupid enough to do something that will get yourself hurt, then you deserved it. I've had it up the eye teeth with workplace health and safety trying to keep dumbfucks in the gene pool, we're better off without them.
Although it has occurred to me that it's not at all about safety, it's about employers being "seen" to be doing something that will cover their arse in a court of law, nothing more.
