Would you like to swing on a star? - Not unless I'm wearing a fall arrest system.

Is it me or does anyone else think The NEBOSH sounds like a dance? Along the lines of head-banging? Sounds more painful though.

Gilly - please don't start a thread on safety dances :-)
- they're all lethal after a few sherberts

One more for the road,

"pack up your troubles in your old kit bag" - but if it weighs more than 25K use 2-man lifting

'Why does it always rain on me' (Travis), when I go out to do my safety inspections? 'From a distance' (Bette Middler) it looks 'perfect' (Fairground Attraction) but close up it 'don't impress me much' (Shania Twain).
Sometimes I think I've found a 'changing man' (Paul Weller) but most of the time he's 'the joker' (Steve Miller Band). Sometimes it's 'unbelievable' (EMF). One day all my safety inspections will show only good points [I should be so lucky] (Kylie). But until then I know that 'when the going gets tough' (Billy Ocean), you can always blame the safety manager.
