Has health and safety gone mad

We have all heard it said you can't do that because of Health and safety.  But how often is it one of the following? A misunderstand of the health and safety laws  A excuse to hide behind  Lets face it every company has different rules and laws to follow because of different curcamstantces here @ Clark trading we are no different Just remember often when health and safety is blamed even the Hse think it brammy. Using Health and safety to hide  behind is dangerous tothe workers. How? Simple they will think other rules are made up when they are not and just ignore the important ones that protect them. Don't hide behind Health and safety for blaming decission on. Either stand by them and explain them and why the rule there Or drop them  Thanks for reading
