This is entertaining

I did notice the standard abuse quickly turned to “not giving a fwck” and onto showing significant concern.

Hilarious

I’m easily amused tbf but I find it interesting that you’ve quoted something that doesn’t exist.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you?

I don’t think you do somehow. The patterns are there.

Anyways. Ignore me and deal with your new acquaintance. That’s where the real fun is.

I really do, that’s why I wrote it online. Are you okay?

And there we go.

Round and back to the insults.

Still not posted your stars SN then?
Funny how you're not willing to sit down heads up for rollz with me if all you've been saying about me is true.

Guess you'll just stick to waiting around on Friday and Saturday evenings for people who have lost their job or had a bereavement to tilt off their money to you.

Trump’s tax policy would be regressive, making the lowest earning Americans give up larger shares of their income. That hurts poor people while drawing in relatively less revenue.

The Home Secretary has the name and address of every single British citizen who has joined the IDF during its Genocide on Gaza.

Every single one should be arrested under the Genocide Convention.

What in the world of fackery is going on here then?

I feel like I might have missed a big plot twist. Honestly, you miss a couple of days on here…

It’s a terrible way of trying to force through change.

This is a culture issue within the industry which effectively is self policed whereby they “find themselves” in order that they continue to pollute.

Until we have a real independent body with teeth who can do things like stop bonuses and/or dividends (not sure how mind you) until there is a measured and measurable improvement then this won’t change.

I’d go as far as making the directors criminally liable. All coming directors already are under the Health and Safety Act so why it can’t be applied here is mystifying.

The threat of imprisonment or directly hitting individuals in the pocket (not the business entity) tends to have a covering affect on responsibility. This is why every private company has H&S as its number one priority. We do.

All company directors even

Professional services and any company that operates solely out of a low risk environment like an office do not have health and safety as their number one priority

I beg to differ

The Health and Safety Act has made a huge difference tbh, certainly in construction and industrial. There are far more H&S jobs now too, some pretty well paid. People used to look down their nose at them, but that attitude is changing now.

All anecdotal from the recruitment sector mind, but that’s certainly my experience within those sectors.

I guess it depends how you look at it, if there's a million quid in the vault but the building is on fire, noone is going to say go and get the cash so obviously safety trumps all in that respect

But BAU it's risk assessments, appointing responsible persons and having policies and procedures.

In a low risk environment most workers interact with health and safety through DSE assesments and stress which in my experience directors will not prioritise over operating income

Yep. The H@S annual declaration is probably the most important document that requires signature from the very top of any private organisation.

Then there’s the rules governing fiduciary duties.

For every business however there will be differing risks, yet H@S is the one area with real bite where directors can be jailed and personally held liable.

They're a boring bunch the H&S bunch in my experience. Not belittling their work, far from it the on-site deaths figures are miniscule from when I started on sites, but I've yet to meet a charismatic safety officer.

Haha true enough. I think they have to be a bit poindexter though. Same with HR and finance.

I’ve had some really good induction talks in the past, I’ve learned stuff that I still remember now because the H&S bloke was good at his job

I suppose their job by nature is one of warning and caution with dire repercussions.

Not the sort of thing you want as a pep talk or to rally the troops mind.

Business by nature involves an element of risk taking and I suppose it just grinds against that.

I’ve done more courses than I can recall, yet still get stunned by some inept practices I continually get to see. When we buy another business I can only sit open mouthed at what they allow to go on so usually they are very open armed about taking H&S seriously. It’s almost seen as a negative against previous management when you explain it’s for employees benefit at the end of the day.

Construction is still by far and away the riskiest sector to work in (as far as I’m aware anyway) although it has improved dramatically. And now the cost of business closure or suspension if something goes wrong means it’s simply not worth trying to cut corners or to carry on doing things because they were always done that way.

What is it with finance? They actually go on like it’s there money.
