Health and Safety Australian Style
Visiting newly built fishing boat in Brisbane River, I need to cross 20m of boatyard to reach water's edge and board boat. Stopped in tracks by site health and safety moron. Cue 15 minute standoff with him explaining how it was more than his job's worth to allow me to walk to the boat without steel capped shoes on. Eventually after enduring lecture from hell about how to mitigate risks he agrees to allow me to walk to boat. Arrive at gangway to be met by another boatyard worker with hand held up. "Hold it Mate. The deck paint hasn't quite completed curing. If you want to come aboard this boat you will have to remove your shoes and socks first."
