i think that health and safety means money to all the wrong people. What people want is a system which financially benefits anybody who spots a problem. As it stands HS is run on the premise that we are all in a cooperative group hug. Its like a religion of novices in something called the cscs. If you see something dangerous or somebody doing something dangerous you still have to think twice about what the implications of pointing it out are. You are most likely pointing out something that should have be seen by some management and quite possibly somebody else's management who might be contracting you or your company. All you are doing is pointing out that somebody else is a thicko and people and groups dont like being called thickos.
What I think should happen is that people are given red cards by the management when they go on site which they can write what they think is unsafe and hand them over to the management. If the management committee agree the card giver automatically gets £100 tax free paid out of an hse insurance fund. They could even think of handing out cards to passers by as well.
