Didn't think the Controlling Noise at Work Regs applied to members of the public...

What an interesting point the chap makes...
"Nightclubs".
Are we to have clubbers wearing ear plugs / defenders? Do they not need to, simply because by entering the nightclub they are aware of and accepting the risk posed to them? Perhaps we could introduce such a policy at work...
"Please sign here to agree the you accept all the risks of working here and will undertake to conduct your work as safely as possible so as to minimise the risk to you and those around you". Employee happy, employer happy. Bye bye ambulance chasers, bye bye to most regulations, cheerio to most of the HSE and hello to the 'spike-instead-of-an-airbag' approach to workplace safety management.
I shall call it "The Nightclub Doctrine".
Now where did I put my furry cat and interplanetary laser guided missile?

The point with nightclubs as you say is interesting.
Clubbers who have paid to listen to loud music are not at work and thus the regs do not apply to them. Otherwise this could well be extended to classical music audiences as well. There are more likely to be riots with this latter group obliged to wear earplugs. :-)
The people who work in this sector however have a much more serious problem and is part of the reason why the application of the regs is delayed until 2008 to give them some time to get their 'house' in order (excuse the pun).
Personally i'm impressed he could get such high SPL's out of his voice box.

And what about musicals! Being defeaned by some luvvy warbling a pointless, tuneless yarn about cats or chess or Argentina. And all for a small fortune plus congestion charges.
That Lloyd-Webber fella's got a lot to answer for!
Have I gone off the point......

Not a bad news report in terms of accuracy - somebody complained to the HSE and the HSE, as public body, had to respond - they could hardly say they were dismissing it out of hand when they didn't know the full circumstances. Would be interesting to know:
a) how many complaints the HSE gets out of the blue each year and
b) how they prioritise them - does a complaint from a safety rep in the nuclear industry rank above one from a member of the public in an auction mart?
