Myth of the month - September 2008

Dispelling the health and safety myth: HSE has banned this, that and the other. There have been numerous reports of HSE and health and safety law being responsible for banning all sorts of things, from flip flops at work, knitting in hospital to school sports days.

Actually HSE has banned very little outright, except for a very few high risk exceptions like asbestos.
