It also warns when cleaning it:" Always check if the water is not too hot to prevent your hands from getting burnt". Perhaps I should just grow a beard. RtS |

If you injure yourself and take yourself to court, not being aware of the risk is not an acceptable defence so you could have to pay yourself a lot of compensation |

And Mr Daniels finest sour mash? I'm with Guest999. Straight razor, nowhere near as difficult to use as people think, lasts a lifetime, and your wife/girlfriend won't borrow it behind your back leaving you with unexplained razor burn! |

05 Mar 13 - 10:03 PM (#3486857) Subject: RE: BS: Elf 'n' safety gorn mad again From: McGrath of Harlow As SBS said, it's the litigation industry and people exploiting (mostly sensible enough) health and safety rules that are the problem. Witness this horrifying case California nurse refuses to give CPR to dying woman "A nurse's refusal to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a dying 87-year-old woman in California despite desperate pleas on the telephone from an emuergency dispatcher has prompted outrage and spawned a criminal investigation." ...the executive director of Glenwood Gardens, Jeffrey Toomer, defended the nurse in a written statement, saying she had followed the facility's policy. "In the event of a health emergency at this independent living community, our practice is to immediately call emergency medical personnel for assistance and to wait with the individual needing attention until such personnel arrives," Toomer said. "That is the protocol we followed." Thank God the two people who gave me CPR when my heart gave out just before Christmas in 2010 were not under the control of people like Jeffrey Toomer's mob. |

It advised you to leave your desk at regular intervals to carry out exercise because it was good for your health and wellbeing. This wasn't some leaflet included, no. It was buried in the instructions on how to use the ruddy mouse... McGrath makes a good point. Policies can be dangerous when the legal department have more influence than professional clinicians. .. |

I tried to open the door to get at the instruction book inside. The door wouldn't budge so I rang the dealers. They said to plug the machine into power socket. I did this & was able to open the door. On the first page of the instructions it said 'Do not cconnect to power before reading instructions!' - DUH!! |

Speaking as a nurse I have seen so many people come into the profession in the last couple of decades with absolutely no apparent interest in people, or any "vocational" element in their decision process for entering nursing in the first place. I personally feel that this has had a massive impact on patient care and ulimately ends up in events such as the one you have brought to our attention. How do you watch someone die for the sake of a few minutes chest compressions? Total lack of empathy or care. |

06 Mar 13 - 09:57 AM (#3487038) Subject: RE: BS: Elf 'n' safety gorn mad again From: McGrath of Harlow I'd suspect the basic problem there may have been not so much that the nurse had the wrong attitude - though pretty evidently she had - but that she was following official orders, probably because she was scared she'd lose her job if she broke the rules. As in so many cases, the real criminals are the people up the top, who make the rules or approve them. And when the shit hits the fan, they walk away unscathed. This stupid nurse might very likely end up carrying the can. Her management won't. |
