Rating: - Its all down to "risk assessment"
Its good to have these newspaper stories collected together in a little book. Every reader will have their own favourites but mine fall into food scares, political correctness and genuine H&S issues. Nearly all the issues arise (in my opinion) from inexperienced people misinterpreting the H&S laws or their bosses using H&S as an excuse to mask some hidden agenda such as cost-cutting. If it goes to a second edition, please include some pictures!
Rating: - Hysterical
Its crazy to think that people actually think these things are dangerous - its a real eye opener!!! This is what our tax payer's money goes on!
Well done to the author for bringing this ridiculousness to the frontline - everyone should read this book and see for themselves the madness that is the Health & Safety world!
Rating: - great fun!
I was lent this book and have since gone out and bought myself my own copy!
A fantastic coffee table book to flick through (if you can resist devouring it all in one go!). Also I can imagine repeating a lot of these stories at dinner parties for years to come!
Rating: - Go out and buy it!
A cracking read! I got this for my birthday from a friend and I am dead pleased I received it. It was an amusing tour de force from beginning to end and has now been snatched up by my colleagues who saw it on my desk. I hope I get to see it again!
I would recommend this to anyone who has a sense of humour and likes a good giggle laughing at the establishment. Double thumbs up!
Rating: - Excellent - well worth reading
I also bought this book after hearing the author on Radio 4's Today programme and what a treat it was!!! I read it all in one go and it is now doing the rounds in my family and friendship circle.
I just hope the author does another book like this as I would buy it immediately. More please!
A word of warning - do not read in public for fear of spontaneous loud laughter and some very funny looks!
