Take a look at what H&S now has to add to its list of supposed crimes against the people thanks to the machinations of the ignorant:

There are no lights because everyone has to stay at a safe distance including the workforce.

If Derby Council want a tree then they really need to spend the money and secure it properly so it won't fall down. This is just a cheapskate method and they should either do it properly or not at all.
Bah humbug

I'd love to know exactly what legislation has changed in the past 12 months to cause this reaction.

Maybe they should focus on spending more on the local police to stop weekend drunk from trying to scale the tree? You know, whilst we are all pointing fingers here. And/ or stop letting the office junior pass comment to the press. I think the damning part of these articles is that plenty of other local authorities seem to be managing fine without having to use H&S as an excuse for incompetence

It is a well-known fact that regulations are introduced at random with no publicity or consultation. They’re also never published on any government website. This means that the first that you know about the new regulations is when someone from a company trying to sell you something tells you: ”Keep upto date with latest H&S regs and buy our tat and overpriced services that you really don’t need!”

Post #10 brings back memories of a certain organisation that employed salespeople to go round sites offering to sell "legally required" posters/notices at extremely high prices - none of which were needed.
This organisation sailed very close to the wind by strongly hinting, albeit not actually stating, that they were from the HSE. My instructions to our security personnel were to remove them from site if they ever tried to get in again!
On a similar theme, my local Chinese takeaway was being asked to pay for an exorbitantly priced H&S Law Poster until I gave the owner some advice. He saved some money & my portions got bigger!

I do think this article provides a more balanced view of the industry (from an enforcement perspective at least).

Is this really the link you meant to post?

You should be seeing an article from the Graun speculating where the real problem with H&S resides. Note, the "B" word, while topical, is to my mind circumstantial to the argument.
