Re: Now the "Health and Safety" Insanity Hits a Church

!cool!
What every one is missing with this item is the complete and utter wanker of a maintenance manager who has banned the chap from climbing the ladder and insisting that the church shell out ?5K for an autowinder.
As a manager the twatt should know about the Working at Height Regs. If a person is to climb over 6 feet (2 metres actually but FUCK the Frog measurement) then the ladder needs to be fixed to prevent it moving with a person on it.
In all the Government buildings I enter where lift motor rooms are in the attics and accessed by ladder from top landings the ladder stiles have hooks screwed to them with eyes screwed into the hatch lips. Thus when hooked into the fixed eyes the ladder is 'fixed' and safe as far as the regulations go. Also, perfectly safe as far as I am concerned and I'm a bloke who climbs ladders daily to access lift motor rooms.
Cost of hooks and eyes and fixing probably about ?10, as opposed to ?5K proposed by the maintenance wanker. I see these so called managers all the time, and I can assure you there are too many of the twatts.
