Compensation?? Where there's blame there's a claim!!!!

Yeah, give that disgusting, hideous, fat, piggy-eyed toad Hudgell a ring. He'll sort you out.

The first part is good. But I wonder if the gloves are potentially a good thing provided other safety measures are in place - like amended practices, machine guards, etc? Sounds to me like they've potentially not fixed anything and gone for the cheapest option. I would imagine that gloves could prevent peoples hands getting slashed or worse if used in conjuction with a more safe working environment. I suspect what'll happen at some time is someone gets severe damage to their hand if there is a lack of other appropriate safeguards.

What I am saying is, of course, pure speculation.

Excellent

A step in the right direction. At least it's your speculation as opposed to the b0llox you monotonously quote from on a daily basis.

On the HSE website it says changes 6th April 2012.

They cant install guards dew to it would make it imposible to run the jobs as was discussed in the meeting. There were basicaly happy it was'nt as bad as ot could off been.

Doesn't the dew cause the machines to rust?

You'd think so. There must be bloody loads of (off?) the stuff, the number of times he's mentioned it.

LOL, but not as bad as Andy Good



The compensation culture infuriates me. I was reading something the other week about how the number of road traffic accidents has dropped dramatically, yet the amount of personal injury claims arising out of RTAs has gone through the roof.

We were hassled constantly by some scummy firm in Manchester after a member of the family had a cas accident. I was shocked to find out they were actually solicitors. Mrs D had to resort to threatening to report them to the Law Society for constant harassment - several 'phones calls a day, even though she was not involved in the accident. She was too soft - I would have called the senior partner (or whatever he was called), given him what for and then reported them.

Bump into tb?

only read 1st few posts of thread, but when I worked in sub contract engineering on lathes and as part of my HNC, one of big things was that you should never wear gloves when operating a lathe. better to get a cut than the swarf grip he glove and drag ur hand into the machine
