Was given this at Brooklands all those years ago(1989) for weekend work.
Safety Advisers Questions
1. Explain using findings from sociology and anthropology why safety management in the construction industry is difficult. Illustrate your answer with examples using behavioural science terms.
2. Explain the significance of the Davies v Cameroon Industrial Services why a contractor cannot use the defence of due diligence under section 155 (2) of the Factories Act 1961.Your answer should not extend to more than six sides of A4 size paper.
3. Describe the effects on the human body of the various types of ionising radiation, viz. X-rays, gamma rays, alpha particles and beta particles. What are the basic methods of radiological protection in use, and how would you apply them in typical construction operations.
4. Outline Gordons theory of accident prevention in which he suggests that epidemiological techniques can be used to give a greater understanding of accident causation. Illustrate with examples from the road surfacing industry.

You had unusual 'O' levels, Merv.
It reminds me of the homework we used to get on the NEBOSH 'Higher Level' day release course before things got easier.

Ken,
That explains everything. Thats why the accident stats have dropped significantly over the years. Safety Professionals are doing the job instead of studying. If you must snipe do it with effect lol.

Yeah, Eng lit 1956
"I have been studying where I live unto the world and, for because the world is populous and here is not a creature but myself, I cannot do it. But I'll hammer it out"
Richard II, Act 5, scene 1. A prison cell in Pomfret castle.
Just before he gets the chop.
That's H&S all over.

I'll leave it to others to decide as to which snipe was the most effective, Tony - although I am a bit concerned about the idea of safety professionals doing the job instead of studying. Hopefully we have both managed to contribute to improved accident figures along with the various other contributory factors.
