Cant see no poll mate? We are gettin alot better with our paper work these days but it seems that every time we jump trough one hoop there's another one to jump through?

I think I'm fairly unique in my enjoyment of form filling. It's not inhibited my life so far, I can have relationships with women and don't use presciption drugs. I particularly like being scarcastic on risk assesment forms designed by people outside the industry.

I think everybody who does not know what thier requirements are legally should make an effort to find out because if anything ever happens and you're not covered, you'll be f***ed.

 

A legal requirement is exactly what it says, it's a requirement of the law.

 

 

 

JamesW, really professional of you there mate, guess we know your opinion then.

A bit of a pointless poll but lets see how many of you are confident that you are filling in all the necessary paperwork.

 

I dont know what it all is do you?

 

 

I would think I’m on about 90%, but then I am L/A any my arse is in this seat 2-3 days a week. :sad:

Bit unfair comments there guys.

 

We have asked if loler is a legal requirement, we have had hundreds of opinions and no factual replies

 

We had a full thread on waste licenses, again hundreds of opinions and no definate answers.

 

If things are this confusing for two of the "requirements" then it's a little unfair to say people should research or go around with their heads in the sand.

 

Some of us want to know answers but no-one can come up with any. When and if they do, there's always another no brainer peice of legislation to supposedly adhere to..... or is there.

 

1. Is Loler a legal requirement Y/N

 

2. If a person knows chapter 8 like the back of his hand, is he still legally required to go on a course and get a ticket

 

3. Are we legally bound to create a written maintainence record ( maintainance of some equipment can be proved through receipts of parts ect, writing down you have done it doesn't mean it has been done)

 

It is possible to know your responsibilities to the public and employee's without bullshite forms, form filling does not and never will prevent accidents, all they do is cover your @rse should anything go wrong, which in my veiw is you looking after yourself not your employee.

 

I will look after my employee by sending him on all the courses he requires for him to know all these points for himself. I am at this moment filling in a prospectus form for him to start college in sept, to me that means more than filling in stupid and meaning less vibration records and equipment use records which are a product of the claim culture and the covering of @rses culture.

 

What we should have is this person should have been looking where he is going instead of falling off curbs forms.

 

There! it's out :001_smile:
