Playing it Safe [NEW EDITION]: The Crazy World of Britain's Health and Safety Regulations

Playing it Safe [NEW EDITION]: The Crazy World of Britain's Health and Safety Regulations

by Alan Pearce (Author)

Synopsis

Imagine a world where your wellington boots come with a 24-page instruction manual, or council carers who are prohibited from making tea for OAPs in case they scald themselves on the job. Welcome to Britain in the 21st century, where the Jobsworth now lords it large, issuing edicts of mind-boggling stupidity that ruin the quality of people's lives all in the name of Health and Safety. Former BBC war correspondent Alan Pearce has compiled the most outrageous and hilarious (and unfortunately all true) examples of Health and Safety gone mad. They will make you cringe whilst crying with laughter. You couldn't make it up!
