David Cameron plans to tear up 'mad' health and safety regulations | Mail Online


A whole slew of regulations on police, teachers and ambulance workers will be lifted so they no longer face the threat of being sued for making common sense decisions....Mr Cameron will tear up Labour rules which have been blamed for creating a culture where someone must be to blame for every mishap....Teachers will no longer have to fill in reams of ‘risk assessment’ forms before taking youngsters on school trips, and killjoy council officials will find it much harder to ban firework displays and street parties.

It's too late, cutting the red tape will not get us out of the US style blame culture we have. Infact these silly rules are a result of that culture.

About time, at the current rate of H&S rules everyone will be walking around in bubble wrap come 10 years time. Hopefully its just the start of things to come.

Yep the law needs to change as well, ban no-win no-fee for a start and outlaw TV/Radio advertising for these scumbag claim firms.

There are already plans to do that apparently, because a lot of firms charge very high fee's once you win a claim. There was talk of regulating the amount they can actually charge.

I bet we will be here in 5 years time and nothing will have changed.
