  Agree with you on H&S, Ross.
  
  I worked in laboratories all my working life, I was daily handling things that would have the man on the street running in the opposite direction and give health and safety advisers the screaming abdabs, but I had the training, knowledge and facilities to handle them safely. However, if I had followed the regulations produced by the advisors I would have spent all my time filling in paperwork and doing nothing productive.
  
  I have a relative who works for the Health and Safety Executive. They have done great work enforcing legislation that has stopped the industrial accidents, but they hate the jobsworth type of advisers who are afraid to let people do things just because there is some risk attached. The best way to approach this type is to challenge them and turn the tables on them - keep asking why, keep asking for justification for decisions, keep asking for the relevant legislation relating to a decision until they have to give in to common sense.
