If that's the precautions the BBC H&S dept. deemed necessary for changing a tyre, I'd hate to think of the legions of stand-by's needed for filming the likes of 'Planet Earth', 'Yellowstone' and 'Nature's Great Events'.

But they're certainly not consistent. Anyone seen the opening credits to Horne & Corden where they smash TV sets up?

One part of the story says paramedics, another part refers to "a couple of voluntary St John's Ambulance first-aiders". Either way it seems well over the top for a simple DIY maintenance job. You would have thought that the BBC would have enough First Aiders 'around' to cover this.

Could we see the risk assessments(s) for the forthcoming Panorama programme "May Contain Nuts" please ?

So that's where the licence fee goes...
BBC should have a look at the HSE advice on Sensible Risk Management.
As for "May contain Nuts", I suppose out of curiousity, I'll have to watch it. It can't be any worse than the last documentary on our profession...
can it?

I find it interesting that members of this profession, who berate the media for misrepresenting H&S;
are only too happy to believe what is written in a newspaper not exactly known for its balanced approach to things, writing about an organisation that it has history of berating.
maybe its time to remember that there are 3 sides to every story.

At the end of the Daily Telegraph account of the story there is a reference to this remark:
"John Simpson, the BBC's world affairs editor, has criticised the modern obsession with health and safety - branding it "nonsense".
Simpson, 64, said he had to fill in a BBC risk assessment form 'the size of a telephone directory' before filming his 'Top Dog' adventures with Robin Knox Johnston and Ranulph Fiennes.
"It tells me 'You may bang your head, you may trip over, you may hurt this and that.'

But Simpson was the one who refused to 'go' in his tent (as stipulated by R Fiennes, who should know about these things) and got frostbite as a result!
