Health & Safety Police

[Sportsman]

Sincere Greetings Mr Sportsman,

 

Knew I did that someone working for the HSE/public sectorwould fall for it, once again I've been proved correct. You in the quangoes like to bumn their chuck el-biggo in an attempt to protect the over staffing, the inflated salaries, the short working[?] week, the early retirements, the over inflated pensions & all the rest.

 

Mate, its people who sound & whitter on like you that has saddled this country with an enormous deficit, non-producitve sanctimonious t***s, & that's swearing to it.

 

Maybe you're not sophisticated enough to read The Times & The Telegraph [One assumes that you DO read?] but if only half the stories published in those two over the last 12 months are true it would appear that what we have in the HSE are a bunch of complete and utter morons, savvy? ?

 

Regards mucho,

 

Mr H.

 

Hello Mr H

Read my post you did, understand it or give it any thought, once again you evidently did not.

Firstly, I do not work for the HSE / public sector / quango that you speak of.

In addition I am not informed / educated by newspapers, even such august versions as the Telegraph or the Times. I form my own opinions and am not reliant on others to do it for me.

Therfore I shall continue with my sanctimonious (and accurate) whittering and leave the ill informed whinging and whining to those such as your good self.

Regards

Health and Safety Executive

 

 

Funding: £210m in 2008/09 from the Department for Work and Pensions.

Staff: 3,582

 

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in its current form has only existed since April 2008, when it was formed from a merger with the Health and Safety Commission, which had overall responsibility for occupational health and safety regulations in Britain. The HSE is now the single regulatory body for health and safety at work, inspecting sites, enforcing the CDM regulations and producing steadily improving figures on the number of site injuries and deaths.

 

Thumbs up

"We have a good relationship with the HSE," says Stephen Ratcliffe, chief executive of the UK Contractors Group. "It’s working very well to steer the industry. In terms of resources, it is quite stretched and its biggest problem is getting consistency across the country. Everyone focuses on deaths, which are much better this year, but overall, incident figures are coming down on a pretty regular basis. I think they should be kept in their current form, if not given a little bit more resources."

 

Thumbs down

The HSE can never have an inspector on every site, so it’s almost impossible for it to play a policing role. Meanwhile, Construction (Design and Management)] Regulations, which have given clients and designers responsibility for safety since April 2007, are not deemed a success. "For a long period, the question has been what the impact of CDM has been compared to its cost," says Rob Smith, senior partner at Davis Langdon.

 

"Building sites are still too dangerous compared with the rest of Europe. The focus should be on the work on site rather than design," says Jack Pringle.

 

Chances of survival intact It would be a brave politician who tried to dismantle the HSE, not only for the vital role it plays in improving safety standards, but because of its legislative responsibility for enforcing UK and EU law. But the Tories are not fans of excessive "nanny state-ism", so we can expect to see a refocusing on individual responsibility for health and safety and perhaps a slimmed down role for the HSE.

 

What does the HSE say?

In a letter to the Daily Mail in July, chief executive Geoffrey Podger said: "HSE is always looking to improve its effectiveness and reduce costs. For example, we recently moved our HQ from London to Liverpool as part of a programme that will save the taxpayer around £57m over the next 10 years."
