  Health and safety gone mad
  A jobs worth stopped me working this week because my drill hadn't been inspected and tested for sound levels.
  It's a small 18 v battery drill
  
  
  He tested it in his plush office, and gave it back to me with the necessary certification sticker. Will their ever be an end to this insanity??

  Need to name and shame his organisation, Keith.

  What was that again Keith, can't hear you!
  
  A family member is a Health and Safety Executive officer responsible for prosecutions, this sort of jobsworth drives them mad as it gives the whole ethos a bad name.

  When the government's raining insanity, H & S tongues the drops.
