went to work today on a site in ottery st mary on a cat 307 on groundworks when i found a 6 inch metal gas main i spent a hour working round it when the site forman bollacked me for not digging it out because it was dead at that point he put a disc cutter through it and it was live this is the same man that said i could not drive the machine because i had the wrong boots where do these people get there jobs

Sadly there seems to be more and more of them on sites these days !!

The worse ones are the little jumped up nobodys who have been given a bit of shout and it goes straight to their heads !!

You couldn't make it up could you?
Sorry but there's no way I would cut through any gas pipe unless it was me who had turned off the gas first..............
Lucky there wasn't a rather big bang and nothing left of the gent concerned.

Thats ridiculous!

I was on a site where they were giving labourers abit of authority and they ended up giving out these red and yellow cards willy nilly! Even red carded a guy for not puttin shutters on at night! We kept finding them doing things that everyone would deem unsafe and asking them why they werent red carding eachother....Jokers!

something springs to mind here ,but i just can,t put my finger on it yet

Joe why did he not put his shutters on ,after all they are not an ornament,he may have got his cards if he had no windows in the morning

This just sums up what is wrong with British industry.The firm I work for is a good example.Preach safety,but when it costs money turn the other way.
The HSE and "safety" managers have got it all wrong.Instead of instilling safe working methods with a bit of common,they come up with stupid ideas and risk assesments that can cause more accidents than they prevent.
On top of that you then get managers /formen who have not got a clue.Thank god I work alone all the time.If I make a cockup it my fault.

Well said lads and it is the reason I went back to school as I got sick of jumped up whelps with out the least bit of cop on climbing the ladder and not knowing enough,to know they know nothing.
