At our charity shop, we've got a space on the wall by the till for a shelf. It's in a niche in the wall, and you couldn't hit your head on it if you tried- and it couldn't fall on anyone. We could put really nice books up there, and they wouldn't get pinched.
Apparently none of us are allowed to put shelves up, and have to call someone in from out of London and pay hundreds of pounds. We need to bid for that with money we aren't given, even though it would pay for itself very quick. We can't use any of the few thousand quid that we pass on to HQ every month to pay for those shelves either.
Yeah, I know, it's our fault for our own silly internal procedures. Not really health and safety gone mad at all.
Have you got any examples that aren't in the least the government's fault? We want to hear from YOU.
