saftey run amuck?????

The big difference is the fact that workers are covered by insurance when they are on the job ( WorkSafeB.C.). Insurance companies don't like to pay, they just like to collect premiums. If a company has a claim, their premiums will be raised until they pay the cost of it.

It seems like the premiums are mostly spent on lawyers, buildings and inspectors.

Now your talking...God bless lawyers and their huge contributions to society.

All these OSH regs are designed to protect ****wits,end of day you can't do that.Inexperienced people go to day course,get licence ,now legal. Experienced operator ,no licence,illegal,that is issue for some people in NZ i.e.
agriculture.
You wonder if these policy bureaucrats were clever pricks at school,go on to varsity (real clever pricks),then get office job and never worked in real world.

These Lawyers are why a lot of people get hurt.Day dreaming about the big money.So many claim to be hurt that the Insurance Company's will hire somebody to follow you around with a Video Camera.Which is a good thing.To many people claiming to be hurt makes it hard on the Company and anyone that really gets hurt.
