Who needs health and safety

[biggs682]

For some unknown reason I have started watching these reels on faceache and I can't get over some of the stuff being made and repaired .

All without the need for health and safety.

Ok I doubt that any the repairs and made products are quality checked but it shows what can be done .

Anyone else watching them ?

As ingenious as it is sometimes scary.

All sold and done with a warranty

They are wearing steel capped sandals.

Definitely ingenious, and whilst I'm no elf and safety buff, I can't help but feel a little sad that nobody values even their long term health enough to provide them with the most basic of protective measures.

I do accept that we have come through the same route during the industrial revolution, but surely lessons have been learned from that.

I've also been watching them, absolutely fascinating how they mend stuff. The ingenuity is incredible. I guess most come from south Asia, countries that are mired in the past with no regard for H&S, yet can send rockets into space.

In 1968 ear defenders were not compulsory in my Blacksmith shop nore were totectors and our apons was a piece of sacking tied around the waist with a piece of string and we had no leather gloves either.
Later we had to buy our own totectors , but we did get a tax allowance each year.

It would be interesting to see how their accident rate compares to Britain's.

I used to work in sales for a small carpet factory in the midlands.
The Wilton looms very noisy and ear defenders were issued by the company but most were ditched by the weavers who said they couldn't hear the looms to hear any problems.

I doubt very much if anyone cares enough to record them.

I did the same, but in a very different industry.

I bet the weavers like me, wish they had used them now they are dealing with issues like hearing loss and tinnitus.

But can they get them safely back?

Yes that was often the way. Workers fought against the efforts to keep them safe.

I expect their record keeping is as thorough as their safety processes.

My father was a (marine) ship's engineer on trawlers - even when they were given ear defenders he said they were so basic they just sweated so badly (rotating 8 hour shifts) they took them off - he ended up 90% deaf...
