This, of course, doesn't make it OK. Regardless of personal views on smoking, it is true to say that employees shouldn't expect to be expo...

BBC Panorama: health and safety a laughing stock?
There have been a great deal of reactionary reports in the press over recent years about ‘elf and safety’, ‘bonkers conkers’ and killjoys banning sports days, nut toppings and hanging baskets – for fears over public health and safety. It seems that not a week can pass without ludicrous reports of policemen stopping motorists for laughing in their cars, or council workers deeply offending mourners by desecrating unstable gravestones with safety tape and warning notices. Yet, equally, the news is also full of stories of employees who have died whilst working on un...

Employment Tribunals: back to the future?
...14 workplacelaw The question of where responsibility for verification lays was examined in a consultation document issued in 2005. The options that were examined were firstly self-certification by the parents themselves; secondly self-certification with confirmation by the mother's employer to be passed onto the father's employer, and thirdly handing the process over to HMRC to carry out compliance checks.
