One phrase that everyone hates to hear is 'I'm sending you on health and safety training' For a large majority of people it seems like a waste of time and we all feel like we could utilise our time better. However, after looking around I'm starting to feel that there is an increasing number of people who could actually benefit from having health and safety training. How many times do you walk down the street and see someone bending over to pick something up using their back as opposed to their legs. These people will turn around at some stage and complain to people that they have a bad back. Well they only have themselves to blame, I would imagine that we have all been on the course where we have been taught to bend at the knees and scoop down to the same level as the box, before utilising our legs to take the strain when lifting. You see classic examples of this everyday in the street, the supermarket and all over the office. Each of these individuals should be made to sit through another health and safety meeting. That is what happened to me when I worked in an office. One Friday night I had to move a series of boxes and naughtily rather than take them one at a time I loaded two boxes up together which I thought was clever and would see me down the pub a bit quicker. Unfortunately for me I got caught by one of the directors who saw me struggling and insisted that I take it easy and enrolled in another health and safety training course the following week. It was after this course that I decided to become a health and safety officer, so it seems everything happens for a reason. Another common problem that I see around all the time is cables dangling down all over the place which could lead to trip hazards. Once more I'm sure we have all tripped over something in our life times and we can appreciate how horrible this experience can be. Maybe if these individuals took part in some more health and safety training then we could all have fewer accidents. I know everyone hates health and safety training, I can see it on their faces every time they come into one of my presentations, but it doesn't seem to stop them from breaking the rules every five minutes. Maybe if people paid attention then I wouldn't need to keep wasting my own time given additional training to people who have already had it.
