When you hear Health & Safety, do you immediately think of risk adverse jobsworths looking to stop perfectly sensible activities?
If so, you've been influenced by a long campaign to denigrate the 1974 Health & Safety at Work Act.
The act & its associated shifts in practices saved workers lives & helped make the workplace safer (but of course more costly to run)... ever since the the rich have been trying to tell us its all unnecessary... well they would!

My grandfather was ‘Mr Health and Safety’. His life’s quest to make work safer has been ridiculed – but the rise of the gig economy shows it’s no joke
The Health and Safety at Work Act passed into UK law 50 years ago. Harold Walker was its driving force, inspired by his own experiences of workplace injury.The Conversation
