stevie_b Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This is quite refreshing: Wimbledon officials yesterday decided to stop broadcasts of the action on their big screen on Murray Mount/Henman Hill /whatever it's called, blaming "Health and Safety grounds". I think H&S gets a bad press, mainly due to people outside the HSE over-zealously interpreting the rules (and then the gutter press running with the story with headlines like "'Elf n Safety gone mad!"). Well, the HSE got wind of it and wrote an open-letter response. Enjoy! Guardian article HSE open response People have been walking up and down wet grassy slopes for years without catastrophic consequences.

Charlotte Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Spot on. It's not health and safety at all - it's fear of losing money if someone was to fall and make a claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
