I have come across the following verse in the book of Deuteronomy (5th book of the Old Testament).

"When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence"

This was wrote by Moses circa 450 BC.

Bob would that be the 4,000 yr old 'Code of Hammurabi' - quote 'If a builder build a home for someone and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built falls in kills it's owner, then that builder shall be put to death'

Bit harsh and not sure it would form part of a CDM review

Smurf, there was no need of a snagging list; God created perfection, it's the occupier that's made a mess.

Is God to blame for the Big Bang, as he evidently did not do a DSEAR assessment.

Is this the first ever work at height regulation? It looks to me as if it is a requirement for fall prevention.

Spotted the first reference to motorcycles then SNS:-)

Fist pie factory for welfare facilities - Walls of Jericho

The old ones are the best.

Houses built on rock or on sand with the Engineers solution

Shame we do not have contractors and clients with such a clear sight of what they want to do before they start.

Noise was also an issue in those times too!

It states in Corinthians that, " . . and woh, the roar of Moses triumph could be heard throughout Isreal", which goes to prove two things:

Noise was a recorded issue in those days

Triumph was the first motorcycle ever produced !!!

Don't forget that God created the lighting regs as well.

"And God said let there be light, and there was....."

I wish I had taken more notice of the Bible when I was younger, it would have saved a lot of time studying H&S in my later years!

Moses was great; he managed to foresee the invisible hands of god for opening the red sea to ensure duty of care for his entire troop to leave Egypt without injuries evaluating all hazards, knowing exact route, the climatic condition needed, a perfect assessment of risk. Don’t know if the Lord decided to amend or not the law to prosecute Moses for this type of heroic but risky action.

I always found the burning bush thing disturbing when I was a child.

If I'm going to get a message from God I don't want it to be in flames.

I thought the bush was just to get his attention ( he didn't want to use gory pictures, I guess ). His message was the first toolbox talk, which unlike us only had to give once and with no handouts, Moses had to make his own notes.
