First may I say happy Christmas to everyone. Secondly, the following must be read in the spirit that it has been written :-)
Ok, here we go. Lets assume that a man has to go off on a business trip for many months, during this time the lonely Wife gets quite frustrated, so starts using a 'vibrator' NOW, should she first do a risk assessment on "White Finger" dangers, and if so, what control measures should she implement? Should the Husband have left a S.S.W. for her? and even more important, what about the training side of things? sure gives food for thought:-0
Merry Christmas Lady's and Gentlemen and wish you all a good and SAFE year.
John

Reminds me of a question that came up in relation to tractor seats. I don't mind checking for vibration white finger but I draw the line at vibration white a**hole.

RA only required if it is a work related activity.
Happy Christmas

But surely if this is the result of a business trip the missus comes under the heading of
"risks to the health and safety of persons not in his employ arising out of or in connection with the conduct by him of his undertaking"

Well you should never buy her one that is larger than you know what!! Also they have the reputation of lasting longer, give no excuses, don't break wind and do not roll over and snore!
As for RA's on tractor seats you should try looking a bike seats, some are like razor blades. I bought my wife a new bike recently and had to go straight out and buy a new seat for obvious reasons.

I am just surprised that so many people know a lot about the subject matter...With all the lubricants that could be in use in conjunction with the item, maybe a full MSDS should be made available also.
Instead of a weekly checksheet I think an hourly one would be in order.
Come to think of it...I wouldnt like to be the one who has to submit the RA to the boss prior to my departure...
Jim
Merry Christmas and a joyous new year to all members and to the IOSH staff also.
Have a safe holiday

Download the report (via a link on the ROSPA website) for injuries from home and leisure activities.
Have a look at the number of people who have been injured by such items...

I suppose one solution would be to substitute an alternative. I believe there are subbies who specialise in this area. Look in Yellow Pages under "white van man/window cleaner/milk person etc etc"

Stuart,
Are you the Stuart who posted a "Confined Spaces Permit to Work Form" on Web Safety? Why does my twisted mind see a connection there?

Hi John,
I just googled you (what a liberty) and it occurs to me that there might be a sustainable organic alternative! Seen any interesting veg recently?

Ouch! I have been 'Googled' Just because the name of this company starts with the word "Exotic" and some of the items we deal with are Cucumbers, Dodo's, etc etc, doesen't mean that they can be used for other purposes????? Think we had better keep it clean or we will all be thrown off the forum?
He He

I suppose we should point out that a Dodo in this context is a type of Nigerian plantain...otherwise people will have visions of an old bird that you only see stuffed in museums.

Yes....Guilty of the Confined Spaces PTW - Find it useful? You should always remember though, never enter a confined space alone!!!

I suppose if the situation were reversed (the gentleman staying at home while his high-powered executive wife goes travelling) we'd be looking at a whole new definition for the acronym WRULDs.

Or should that be WRLLD Zoe?

No Stuart - WRLLD will occur when high-powered executive wifey returns from her travels...
