Quote: Iain "Just to point out - health and safety has not gone mad - insurance companies and hysterical, clueless media outlets have. There is no health and safety law against this, but as Sheddy pointed out, the matter is whether the principal contractor would be comfortable having volunteers do the work.'"
I cannot see any responsible contractor even thinking about that. With it being a new build then more than likley they would sign upto a considerate contractors scheme which i think that one of the requirements state that all employees should have the basic knowledge of Health & safety and to either have a CSCS card or to be working to.
