Although H&S has its place, it is indeed sweet music to have less of it.

I'm actually answering the previous posts about RAs as much as talking to you paul.

ok the biggest problem with it is that for 5 or less than employees you dont need it, and when you do try to carry out ra with small firms, trying to implement best practice as set by possible generic contents of AA ra, it is seriously time consuming and boils down to the cost benefit analysis of it all again,

does your company use there own set generic to suit there set up or did it addapt to try and operate to the aa set generic, i presume you use the same form set up, it does seem to be the only simple solution

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I do all the usual tickety ticky in the boxes, all the relevants to the days work, then i look at the scene and say in the additional comments box what site specific risks there is, unusualy braod canopy, damp day, special atention to rope points and secondary anchors to avoid pendulum swings for example.
