Bad practice on construction sites
As you'll all probably know, the HSE has been out in force inspecting sites over the last few months. Inspectors have found that approximately one in three sites and one in four contractors inspected were found to be working below the acceptable standard.

The human spider - just plain stupid?
Anyone see that Channel 4 documentary last Thursday about the French guy with a death wish?
A married father of three, Alain Robert's terrifying brand of "free climbing" - climbing without tools or safety devices of any kind - has taken him up some of the most daunting buildings in the world. He performs his dangerous work despite suffering from epilepsy.
His often illegal antics and his ability to scale just about any kind of building quickly earned him the nickname 'the human spider'.
His terrifying brand of "free climbing" - climbing without tools or safety devices of any kind - has taken him up some of the most daunting buildings in the world, including the Sears Tower, Canary Wharf and the Eiffel Tower. Robert has been arrested countless times and admitted defeat only once – in Paris after the weather conditions made it too hot for him to continue, leading to him having to be rescued. Robert has only ever had two accidents, both during training when harnessed.
What a nutter.

Definitely NOT an April fool
Pinch, punch, first day of the month...and it's April Fools Day to boot. But one statistic that quite clearly is not a joke is the recent IIRSM poll. A huge 44 per cent of IIRSM members who voted in last month's opinion poll do not think the new Corporate Manslaughter Act, due to come into force next week, will improve safety. What do you think?
