I'd already had a similar incident with one of the other managers earlier in the week and had to tell him to move as well.
All reported to my boss who was less than impressed and made a phone call to them pointing out the error of their ways. I just wonder where these people get their brains from and how they actually manage to get to a position of some responsibility.  |
Living in France, where thankfully H&S is in its infancy, such things would be normal. If you've watched any of the Tour de France I am sure you will have spotted spectators crammed into Manitou shovels and the like, hovering perilously high in the air. Hard hats etc haven't really caught on either.
