I was on a site for Baileys a few years back and we were instructed to wear gloves at all times withing the site boundary but because it's tricky terminating cables with them on we were allowed to cut the fingers and thumbs of them.Most building sites now as you all know,site manager wants you wearing gloves whats all that about oh yeah
H&S gone mad.
Worked on a site once, and the all metal stanley knives were banned (live bars below), technically we were supposed to use ceramic bladed knives aswell, but they agreed to allow us plastic handled knives.
I , and a couple of lads got one from a pound type shop (as we needed them that day), on the cardboard packaging a warning:
Warning Not Suitable For Children Under 4 Years !
WTF ?:joker:
5 years? That's mine now!!!
Blue Book is the National Agreement used on the power generation sites. But Stanley knives are " unwelcome" on most commercial/industrial jobs, not just the Blue Book sites. And as to gloves there are more varieties than Heinz offered to you on most of the commercial and industrial sites.Whats a Blue Book job mate never heard of that

This thread reminds me of the ludicrous rules that shops have when selling knives/blades...
A few years ago I bought an expensive set of VDE screwdrivers from a large DIY chain and they insisted on checking ID to make sure I was over 18...
At the same time I was buying a 4 foot spirit level which could easily have been used to batter someone to death, but that could be sold to a 5 year old...
As I said to them at the time, if I was buying a screwdriver to use as a weapon, it would hardly be a boxed set of the premium insulated type would it?!
