Posted By Jason Gould What a superb program. I have to commend the lady who ran the shutter door buisness. Her approach to her employees and workplace safety was exemplary compared to her replacement who insisted on going on shop floor in flipflops over-ruling everyone on the way. Next weeks episode looks even better. For those who havnt got a clue what Im on about, Hopefully other will conribute their opions and shed more light on the program. Going to be a good series Verdict 10/10 And well done Pete the Engineering Director for sticking by your guns.

Posted By Sean Fraser One wonders how many of the general public viewing the programme would agree with your views, chaps! After the discussions we've already had about the way H&S is portrayed in the media, there is the probability that there are others out there who might have admired the approach of the male boss over that of the female (I confess now I didn't watch it and don't know the names as a result).

Posted By Jason Gould Absolutely Sean. My Wife seemed to side with the male boss for the fist halve of the program, (I think she was winding me up aswell) By the end, she did state her preference to work for Mr.S company. It was all about respect to employees for her and although he was a nice enough bloke and down to earth (like so many). His unwillingness to even Consider improvement In H&S and other staf issues convinced her. One very strong point I picked up on was the employees perception to H&S which mirrored that of their bosses. That has convinced me of the positive safety culture theory (of which I have been a sceptic in the past myself). I would reccomend recording the series as I suspect their are going to be many training aids to come from the program. Regards Jason

Posted By Mark J. Jones On a similar note, did anyone see a recent Bob the Builder where Bob clearly encouraged Lofty to lift beyond his SWL and Spud never wears a hard hat!

Posted By Jonathan Breeze Mark said: "...Spud never wears a hard hat!" He ought to watch out, or he'll get the stuffing knocked out of him. PS Happy New Year to one & all.

Posted By Alan Barthrope Isn't it strange that whenever TV programmes of this nature are discussed on this site Bob the Builder always comes up. Is this the level of TV programmes watched by hardened Safety Professionals? And I bet these are from those that do not have children! Keep watching Regards Alan B

Posted By Jeff Manion Did not see much of the programme. Did see the programme on C4 about developing a house in London, there were issues there. Coronation Street there were problems with suitable PPE and does the builder have a licence for asbestos? My daughter - currently 17.5 and 14.5 both hear about H&S from me and have brought to my attention the contractors working at their school without appropriate PPE. They tell me what they are NOT wearing. As for Bob the builder they also tell me what they see. As am often busy do not get a lot of chace to see Bob the builder. Jeff Manion, MIOSH, RSP, MRSH, MIIRSM
