Review Time
As a concerned citizen with four decades of experience in Health and Safety, I reached out to the relevant authorities to report a highly hazardous situation I witnessed today. Scaffolders were dismantling scaffolding at a large hotel while countless pedestrians passed directly underneath. There were no warning signs or alternate pathways in place. A falling tool could have resulted in serious injury or worse. Unfortunately, the authorities showed no willingness to address my concerns. They simply instructed me to fill out an online form, which was impractical as I was on the move and away from a computer. I was trying to act responsibly and leverage my expertise to prevent a potential tragedy. If this is the current approach of the authorities, I believe they should be reevaluated, and the negative feedback on public review platforms further supports this view. It's time for change.
As a responsible member of the public and with a background of 40 years in Health and Safety I called the HSE Leeds to report an extremely dangerous operation in York I observed this afternoon. Scaffolders were removing scaffolding from the front of a large hotel and literally hundreds of pedestrians were walking underneath in a constant flow. No signage or alternative route was in place. The drop of a screw gun or coupling could kill somebody below.The HSE had no interest in taking on board any of what I had to report. They just told me to go on line and fill in a form. I was walking, on my phone, reporting on a major danger to the public, no where near a computer or place to do as was instructed. I was trying to be a good citizen and drawing on my experience to avoid a major accident. If this is how the HSE in Leeds now operates I suggest they are closed down, and looking at the reviews on Trustpilot that is further evidence they have totally lost their way. Time for action Mr Starmer.
I filled in the form on the HSE website, having waited for a response, unfortunately it was only half answered on a quite important aspect. I resubmitted giving the reference number asking for further information, after another long wait they had totally ignored my request, asking me to fill in a form for the 3rd time.Totally incompetent, absolute waste of time, obviously a Friday afternoon attitude. Very unprofessional personnel probably just using preselected script and not engaging brain.
The HSE have published guidance on Cattle and public access in England and Wales. The guidance if followed would mean the persons affected including farmers and HSE and Councils would be covered by legislation as to show no wrong doing.Why then does this body ignore the guidance it publishes? Why can't it be bothered to check and er enforce which is it's role?As others have said the regulators whether HSE, LGSCO, Legal Ombudsman, Property Ombudsman, FCA or any Ombudsman are not functioning and are a waste of taxpayer money. They are seen to be doing but do very little. At Tier three of their pathetic complaints process, it puts people at risk of accessing Public rights of way. Rather than complain here, we must direct a change to government and the tin pot gods who have created this dire situation which arose from the 1980s under Thatcher whose soft touch regulation was required to allow self regulation and the future of private companies in the public sector. Nothing works in this body and it causes risks.
As many have said, totally biased and a complete waste of time and resources.Building Developer reported for numerous breaches of Health and Safety issue’s, photographs and video evidence which clearly showed dangerous practices taking place neither looked at or considered.Standard response, we’ve reminded the Developer of there responsibilities.As long as they get a fee they couldn’t care less. Not fit for purpose.
Needed to contact HSE for some related chemical handling advice. The only way you can contact them is online form submission which they DON'T respond to. The telephone number has been down with "technical difficulties" for several days. Yet another tax payer funded government department which is totally useless.
Disgrace of an organisation, defend people with a proven history of making fabricated allegations against companies, certainly live up to there well known name as the biggest joke in Europe. Totally biased and unaccountable for there actions should be closed down. Only interested in using there Little scam called Fee for intervention to extract money from businesses. Not surprised the country is on it's knees with this lot.
