I have no special knowledge of the insurance industry but the general rule is "once uninsured always uninsured"

 

As an example a ship which leaves harbour overloaded and has a fire is not insured.

 

A car with too low a grade of tyre on is not insured irrespective of speed involved in an accident (or so I am led to believe).

 

Not too sure about being uninsured for having the wrong type of boots on if you shut your hand in the door though!

I think in all respect to HSE they would like us to use our common sense, but at the same time stick to industries best practices regarding H&S.

 

as for were we would stand on the insurance side if anything was to go wrong????, that i'm not sure about......

 

there are very thin lines regarding PPE, CE, H&S, INSURANCE, and COMMON SENSE. All we can do is just comply as much and as best as we can.

 

we all make mistakes, thats what makes us human, but urinating into the wind is asking to wet.....

This type of thing has cropped up on many occasions in one guise or another. I have yet to hear of someone not getting paid out by defaulting somehow on their insurance.

 

I have asked insurance companies to try and clear up the not complying with HSE not being insured but funnily enough they never seem to take an interest:001_rolleyes:

I don't know anyone who has made a claim- employers/public liability

Anyone?

from my view there's no such thing as an accident anymore, someone has always got to be responsible. Don't get me wrong some HSE is good, but some is twaddle, you can't risk asses for stupidity! And i personally think the more u tell people how things should be done, it stops them THINKING for themselves and considering the risk before they make an action....... The risk assement for our farm is a file 4inches thick which is provided by the NFU as part of my insurance, do we read it...... of course:lol:!!!! But if we followed it by the letter, i'd have no employee's cuz they'd have all got diddled off with it and i'd need 10times the number to do the same work!

 

Common sense and ur own brain are ur best safety assests but HSE don't see it like this:thumbdown:
