The chairman of the Health and Safety Executive has issued a safety signal in which it is mentioned that foolish words have transformed play grounds into less joy giving no-go-zones and danger hampering education of children for panic of being sued.

Judith Hackitt told that the officials were utilizing rules for health and safety as weak reason to refrain people from enjoying themselves. She added “Cynical” management engaged them in the form for lowering the cost.

“The creeping culture of risk-aversion and fear of litigation also puts at risk our children’s education and preparation for adult life,” she said.

“Children today are denied – often on spurious health and safety grounds – many of the formative experiences that shaped my generation”.

“Playgrounds have become joyless, for fear of a few cuts and bruises. Science in the classroom is becoming sterile and uninspiring.”

Miss Hackitt told that the “gloves are off” and her firm would keep in mind the officers or employers who incorrectly utilized health and safety to end daily activities.

“In many cases, the people behind these unreasonable rulings are well-meaning but misguided jobsworths. They may have the public interest at heart but they simply make the wrong call,” she said.

“But a trend of far more concern to me is the use of health and safety as a convenient excuse by employers and other organizations cynically looking for a way to disguise their real motives.”

It involves apprehension for the cost or difficulty of activity, necessities for insurance and above all a dread of being sued for individual harm.

This is not concerned to health and safety laws but concerned to the rise of declarations of no fee for a win.

According to her in latest years the decisions have involved asking children to wear goggles to play conkers, stopping running at a pancake race and refraining firefighters utilizing the station pole.

The interference of Miss Hackitt was there because Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, asked teachers a day before not to stop school trips due to “misguided” apprehensions.

The Department of Education slashed its supervision on health and safety for schools from 150 pages to eight.

Miss Hackitt crticised Wimbeldon officials for closing Murray Mount, where fans used to watch on a big screen, due to dread of people slipping down there.

She said: “Health and safety has surely become one of the most well-worn and dispiriting phrases in the English language. From news reports to TV dramas, it has become convenient shorthand for someone, somewhere, stopping someone from doing something they want to”.

“Our message to bureaucrats who perpetuate these myths is clear. Own your own decisions”.

“Don’t use health and safety law as a convenient scapegoat or we will challenge you.”
