There must be a way to fight this ridiculousness? The laudable aims of Elfin Safety is to protect us all from injury, AND to make our working life as stress-free as possible. The moment the implemented policy increases stress or increases the likelihood of ill-health or injury, it is, by definition, breaking the law. But you're in the bizarre situation where company H&S policy becomes law, which is a bit of a paradox. My argument is that of competence - it is one of the central tenets of H&S law, so any policy that appears to make life at work worse has been developed by someone without suitable competency. How you'd go about pursuing that and keep your job I don't know though...
Sorry, it's riled me for years, the way the law is abused by the stupid. !
