During a visit to one of our premises by a couple of LA EHO's, no major issues found and only a couple of very minor items picked up, one of them made the following statement regarding safety footwear "of course you realize you are also responsible for replacing the laces for safety footwear", which all though the obvious logic of what was said is not an issue, it just seemed that of all the other H&S issues that are curently being highlighted, this statement seemed a bit asinine and OTT.
I am just curious to know if I'm being a bit paranoid or if anyone else has had similar 'useful statements' made by enforcing officers?

I once had an inspector tell me that I should carry a stepladder with me whenever I walked around the premises as I am 5ft 4ins and he was 6ft 6ins and I couldn't see a problem on top of a piece of equipment that he had seen.

Its comments from people like these examples shown that are the true idiots in a world of safety. They give safety pro's a very bad name. The comments are either a badly timed joke or persons with very little else to worry about

Remember EHO's deal in the enforcement of loads of Regulations not just Elf and safety, and they are notoriously bad at it! Enforcement yes but safety management NO! I am an EHO and within 1 month of qulalification did a NEBOSH Dip as i knew I was garbage at the Management / Safet tech side.
Was asked by a H&S Advisor to ensure the blokes wore a safety harness / lanyard attached to a scaffold about 30ft away when orking on a fragile roof, cawling boards etc but if they fell through the roof would only fall 2 feet.

Hi folks
Unfortunatly H&S is tarred with the boring image, there are a few people out there that have no personality and that refects badly on all of us!
