This is fine for IOSH to adopt the sensible line on Health and Safety cases, but at the end of the day, it is the company's, and their H & S managers who will have to suffer the effects and adverse publicity when they are found to be in breach. The problem with all H & S legislation is that none of it has a clear delineation between what is required, and what is acceptable legally. In this age of ever increasing litigation, all H & S employees must have a sense of self preservation in order to maintain their employers integrity, own careers and the safety of employees. As many decisions are based on individual perceptions of a situation, 'better safe than sorry' is the general order of the day.
