Posted By Jasonjg To be honest and controversial I am going to say I did not rate this programme one little bit. (2 out of ten, 1 point for build up and 1 point for the quick ending to load of rubbish better suited for the Sunday Sport). A one sided poorly exampled attempt to make himself more popular. To me, this programme did nothing strengthen the case for sensible risk management. In fact, it was no better than the tabloids it accuses of sensationalism. I might be on a different wavelength to some of you folks but I was left thinking I wanted to strangle this man by the end. Also note that in his great wisdom he avoids examples of the workplace (maybe because many of us workers are glad we do not have bosses like Captain Scott). Merv This programme shows a MP highlighting all the extreme stories that have emerged over time and then call on the opinions from two experts, a head teacher and a extreme adventurer. Overall picture put forward to me is as follows:- 1. We now cushion our children too much because one teacher cannot be expected to spend 15% of their time on H&S when planning school trips etc. That part infuriated my partner more than me as she felt the head teacher was being very negative to H&S in general. I would prefer to wait for someone’s opinion that has a connection with education before making a judgement as to whether 15% of someone’s time is worth spending per ammount of children. Forgot to mention that by supplying children with mobiles we make them thicker doh. 2. The programme shows lots of clips about famous British entrepreneurs and adventures making us proud to be British and then states that this will all die with H&S going the way it is. I had to laugh but almost cried at the same time as watching this part. In my opinion, this made the programme start to look stupid from there on. 3. It then goes on to have a doctor stating how men are wimps today because we want more health checks today than we did in the past (was there a woman script writer in here). 4. We are then shown the usual claim culture theory in which one risk expert spoke some sense (all 2 minutes worth out of the whole show). 5. Finally we are left to feel that Europe is out to get Britain by swamping it with legislation. His finishing note states that this must all end, but not one sniff or any suggestions as to how to put an end to it (typical MP). Sorry for my cynical view but that’s the way I feel about this poorly put together argument. Yes, risk aversion is becoming a problem but please give a god argument that shows two sides of the coin.
