shropshire 0 #1 January 11, 2008 [RANT] H&S people are such a wate of fucking time!!!! QuoteCliff hero resigns in safety row Paul Waugh has been a volunteer coastguard for 13 years A volunteer coastguard who was nominated for an award for rescuing a schoolgirl from a cliff has resigned after a row over health and safety. Paul Waugh climbed down to Faye Harrison, 13, who was hanging on by her fingertips and about to fall 200ft (60m) at Salburn-on-Sea, Teesside. He did not wear safety equipment as it would have taken time to go back to his vehicle which was some distance away. Mr Waugh was later told that he had broken rules. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said it was not looking for dead heroes. clicky (.)Y(.)

Lefty 0 #2 January 11, 2008 A quote of Waugh's in the article: "When you see a little frightened face looking up at you, all you want to do is help." That about sums it up. He did the right thing, and I hope he gives the coast guard the double bird on the way out the door.Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vortexring 0 #4 January 13, 2008 Would the H&S supervisor have been so critical had it been his daughter? Whilst H&S in the workplace is generally a pain in the arse, it is at least beneficial in the long term. It's the fucking politically correct zealots who overapply it that should actually be given a proper job. Wankers. 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
