Health & Safety – what a joke!
 
Q: When does a person decide to become a Safety Manager?
A: When he realises he doesn’t have the charisma to be an undertaker.
 
Ha Ha!
 
Health & Safety issues are often the butt of comedians jokes, with practitioners often derided.

But with the fines for falling foul of the Health & Safety Executive running into hundreds of thousands of pounds and disqualification from business, not to mention the effect on people’s lives, it is deadly serious matter.
 
‘But Health & Safety is just common sense isn’t it’?
 
Well not as far as the legislators are concerned, so why run the risk, when you can receive the NEBOSH, IOSH or CIEH accredited training from ATG.
