Bloody H&S, we have boot covers that we have to wear when entering homes so we don't get the carpets dirty. But H&S states that we can't wear them when travelling up and down stairs in case we, erm, slip. Someone care to explain how i'm supposed to get upstairs without removing my boots (H&S) and without wearing boot covers that I have to wear at all times?
TBF though some of the training was informative, albeit common sense. I'm at risk of Weil's Disease on a daily basis (aka Leptospirosis) that can pretty much shut down your organs within 24 hours if contracted. It's found in rat piss and as some work we do is underground there's usually rat piss around somewhere. It was still common sense though, would you stick your bare hand down a manhole and then eat your lunch without washing your hands? Quite.
