I also promote 'sensible risk management' and highlight any ill-decisions made on the name of Health and Safety...

Given that this was in the Sun I debated whether to respond... but here goes.
It seems that the steps in question were built in a manner/to a design that was not as agreed in the planning process. Sounds like a good reason for council to come down on operator...!
Would us safety professionals accept a guarding solution that was not as agreed on the drawing/design. I think not.
The steps also failed to meet current guidance on angles/steepness and landing breaks. There is clear and long standing guidance on how steps and stairs should be constructed e.g. British Standards. I would have thought that there had to be a good reason to deviate from the guidance. And would a safety professional ignore BS guidance?
Sounds to me like the Sun has taken a perfectly "OK" story and turned into a elf & safety story.... Just reinforce everything I believed about reporters/newspapers.

Disapproval on the name of planning/design guidelines .. fair enough
But
On the name of health and safety…. not acceptable.

I really do find it quite unbelievable that people are passing judgement on others as a result of these reports. Swis, are you going for the record on surfing the rags for supposed H&S stories and then expecting objective or informed discussion? I despair!
