'The old H&S excuse again. Last refuge of fools.' There speaks someone who has never done a day's manual labour in his life. Generations of binmen or refuse collectors as they are now called have had their lives blighted by serious back conditions which have left them in constant agony despite medication and surgery. Any job which involves regular lifting carries a serious risk of long term back problems and these Health and Safety measures have gone a long way to reducing this kind of injury. That some rules are in place to protect the health and welfare of the low paid workers who do jobs that we would turn our noses up at is something to be celebrated not derided. |
