Health and Safety at work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Few years back, the government introduced a scheme wehere every single person on a building site was supposed to have a card saying they had taken a touch screen safety test. I have my renewal on saturday. It was introduced, so they said, to make workplaces safer. NOT, to generate revenue.
I had to pay £42 when I booked mine, and was offered the "UPDATED" edition booklet, for a further £8.99. having been reliably informed, the one I bought last time was out of date, and may have different questions. I scrounged on off a lad at work. Thatd have been 51 quid.
