Health and Safety nightmares
I am sure that we have all done think things that would give the safety reps, at our places of employ, absolute nightmares.

What have you done that breached the rules to give the "elfins ayftee gone mad" brigade something to chew on?

I actually used a set of three steps to reach a high shelf - I told them that I'd been on the course but, if I was totally honest, I didn't even know there was a course. The steps, which were all of 18 inches high had their safety certificate firmly attached, though - so I knew I'd be alright.

I once cut the power to and blew the hatch on a mixing vessel with a broken thermostat that was over 150°C inside (it wasn't meant to go higher than 85.)
The batch was ruined and there was was an appalling stink of burnt fats lingering round that area for most of the shift, but there were no injuries or damage.

I'm sure many jumped-up Little Englanders would wind themselves up into a fit of impotent rage at the thought of being legally obliged to investigate why this happened, get the thermostat repaired as a result and have the whole process documented. Having to put up with preventable industrial accidents was good enough for folk a hundred years ago, why can't it be good enough now? Facking lefty PC brigade. Hanging's too good for 'em, the facking cants.

Manual Handling
The company I work for sent me on a Health & Safety course. A week in Birmingham - soul destroying.
When I got back, I found that they'd also arranged for everyone at the company to have some manual handling training (like how to lift boxes etc - all rather boring).

My first input after receiving my H&S ROSPA certificate was to run an afternoon session for smaller groups of people on Manual manual handling - how to lift heavy manuals.
