3 - not so many in agreement then.
How tiresome. I considered saying what I really thought about yet another IOSH member being so predictably sarcastic, AND hiding behind an alias to do so, but an honest response is simply not worth the time and if I said what I really thought about this respondent it would undoubtedly be considered in breach of the forum rules

Apologies Stu, I was strongly implying that your approach to RA in this case was excessive but if HSE are going to take this approach then you are probably correct: http://www.shponline.co....ures-were-being-followed HSE inspector Michael Griffiths told SHP that the company has three employees in its health and safety department and around 120 maintenance staff, each of whom carry out between one and 10 maintenance tasks a day.
