It’s about time that the HSE woke up. Every week hundreds of firms are fined for what can only be put down to gross stupidity by employees.

It should be the firms suing because of loss of time etc. For anyone trained to do their job, all accidents should be on their heads. If I got a shock I should have tested; fall through a fragile roof/off a ladder etc, I’d class myself as an idiot. The balance should be in the firm’s favour in many cases where stupidity is concerned.
