What about the instruction on a packet of condom: ” It can only be worn on an erect penis.” ? Surely when a man needs to open a packet of condom, he has already reached that state.

Unless when it’s Queen Mandy Latifa and an attractive lady in bed together.

Everyone is now terrified of being sued. Any unscrupulous customer can pretend to slip on a banana skin or a rotten piece of fruit in a supermarket, and take the company to the cleaners. Schools are terrified of parents hauling them into court, if their little darling slips in the playground playing ring a ring a roses. An arm round the shoulders of a pupil is called child abuse.

Apparently a company is bringing out a lot of signs saying “Politicians can damage your health”

Lazy people are media savvy and see a chance to grab a large payout by pretending their sarnie had a dead mouse tail in it. It’s Paranoid City.

I can think of a good use for the cliff edge, Boris, and it wouldn’t require any warning notices!
Now we hear there is going to be a severe shortage of garden fetes owing to the complexities of Health and Safety and unaffordable insurance cover.
Are we really going to stand by while these people turn our lives into risk-free tedium?

Just bear in mind if it wasn’t for their rampant overcautiousness we could end up in a world with these…

A Guardian article on Health and Safety says beware plastic hair bands, PE in wet grass and kids, and strap on your goggles when handling Blu-tack!

Judith Hackitt of Health and Safety Executive puts the other side.

Droll, very droll. (ps. I am watching Charlie’s Angels, season 1 at the moment. If all the angels only had half a brain, and you added them all together, they would still only have half a brain.)

There is a very sad story in the Sun today, no link unfortunately, about how paying too much attention to Health and Safety had fatal consequences.

“A granddad lay dying of a heart attack at home – while a paramedic stood outside for 16 minutes, filling in risk assessment forms. ….. his heartbroken daughter claimed he would still be alive if there had not been a delay”.

The granddad had been told by the operator when he phoned for help to leave his front door open so ambulance staff could get in quickly. But a medic who arrived saw the open door and feared a burglary had taken place. So he stood on the door step carrying out a risk assessment exercise, instead of giving the immediate assistance that was desperately needed. He refused to enter the house for sixteen minutes, and this delay proved to be fatal.
