Dying to fly?

By David Matthews on Feb 9, 09 08:27 AM


Increased Airport security is meant to save us from coming to harm. However there is increasing evidence that it is probably killing and harming more people than the terrorists ever did by raising the stress levels of those passing through airports throughout the world.

Nearly all organisations will use a contractor at some point, ranging from simple office cleaning or machinery repair up to a major construction project.

However, just because your organisation is outsourcing the work, does not mean it can outsource its legal health and safety duties.

By David Matthews on Jan 25, 09 04:54 PM

Health and safety seems to be blamed for everything from banning fathers taking their children swimming to preventing school trips.
