Any that are found to be unsafe, as this particular headstone was, must be made secure.”</I><BR/><BR/>John Mann said at:<BR/><BR/>http://www.theyworkforyou.com/whall/?id=2008-11-05b.129.0<BR/><BR/>What is going wrong? It is not the Health and Safety Executive. In 2007, a written answer stated:<BR/><BR/>"In 2004, the chairman of the Health and Safety Commission wrote to all local authorities setting out the need for a pragmatic approach to this very sensitive issue."—[Hansard, 20 February 2007; Vol. 457, c. 610W.]<BR/><BR/>The problem is that some local authorities and others have not been listening. Instead of thinking pragmatically and understanding health and safety and the concept of risk assessment, local authorities have brought in private contractors and paid them a sort of piece rate, creating a perverse incentive for the contractor to stake or lay down the gravestones, deeming them to be unsafe whether they are or not.Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586279064613712395noreply@blogger.com
