Classic? A classic trip hazard more like...

.
Artist Eva Rothschild's 'scribble in space' sculpture - a thin, zig-zagging metal sculpture made up of 26 enormous triangles which visitors are invited to walk through - is currently being exhibited at the Tate Modern.

Not only is it far too modern (not to mention dull) for the space in which it stands - the rather grand Duveens - does it not also present a very obvious trip hazard to gallery visitors? See for yourself and tell us your views by clicking here.

Workers are sick of Mondays...

It's Tuesday afternoon, and memories of getting up for work on a dark, miserable Monday morning are quickly fading (until next week, that is). Interesting stats published on http://www.healthandsafetyprofessional.co.uk/ today have revealed that workers are sick of Mondays, with one in three sick days taking place on the first day of the week. In addition, Mondays account for a startling 35 per cent of all sick days.

Human resource consultants Mercer looked at absence records for around 11,000 private sector workers and also found that MSDs account for nearly a quarter of all days lost to sickness.
