They could arrange for you to be banned from driving on site, if you work a distance from the entry point that may be a bit of a pain

H&S are just a bunch of tossers with nothing else to do but ruin things. The last training course I was forced to go on I fell asleep. But they have the power to make your business life expensive and hassle.

Any time the H&S are on our transport site, the warehouse slave has to load the trailers with the forklift. He is slow, and useless. When the H&S asswipes are off site, the drivers kick said FLT driver out of the seat and do it themselves far quicker and safer. We all think he got his FLT licence out of a doggy bag he is that crap..

You should see the estate road where I'm based -go any more that 15mph and ul break a lorry spring due to the massive potholes. And the road too is owned too by Glasgow Council.... Yet H&S say the road is fine for other vehicular traffic... figure that one out.

Nope, not them. Similar industry though.
I'm not really arsed about a slap on the wrist. They won't remove my site pass without me bringing down their department first

I don't know why i have such a passion against authority

OK - the reason I asked is that where I work persistant speeding can be considered Gross Misconduct - therefore a fireable offence !!

It's a darn sight cheaper to have an H&S department than to have an accident.

G2D, I worry about you. You're another GYKD, although (a) I don't think you're gay and (b) I think that his departure preceded your arrival. You speak like you're proud of doing nearly 90 in a 30. On a public road that would mean a ban. Maybe that would teach you that no matter how stupid you think the rules might be, usually they're there for a reason.
