| 1144941 | 2010-10-15 03:57:00 | I suppose its interesting that you're all so ignorant as to how dangerous it is to be working in a live rail corridor. Guess you can only compare it to your own places of work where you get poor posture from sitting, and the most hazardous item is the milk being left out of the fridge for a couple of hours. lets try this then, Imagine your nice safe building, picture a few sets of tracks right through your work space, some mean high voltage cabeling, rain and wind, some sun glare, trip hazards along the entire area, and every 20 minutes 300 ton of steel 4m wide 300m long and comes screaming through your office at 50mph, giving instant death to anyone in the way. Right, sounds good, now your work place is a bit more like what the real world has to offer. Now imagine that you rang someone to go into the office and change the drapes while no one was there, should you enlighten to to the hazards or just send them in and assume they will be fine?...after all...whats the worst that can happen? Oh wait, its death, The simple fact is that if people aren't capable of paying attention to information that will keep them alive then they have zero business or the capabilities/intelligence to be in that work pace. |

To think all those Power Stations, Roads, Power Transmission Lines, Railways, Tunnels, Bridges, Buildings……………….etc were built without Fluro Jackets – Hard Hats – Steel-capped Boots - Safety Glasses - PC Dicks and Bureaucratic BS. So harden up – This is where we’re having lunch today! min.us :D |

Many of you aren't, Many have died for a miserable few dollars an hour, The rail corridor is a dangerous site and people working on it should be grateful that those charged with administering it have looked into how people are/were getting harmed and have taken steps to warn them of the dangers. |

How many aren’t? :confused: I can’t think of one friend or acquaintance that has died and wouldn’t have if he’d attended a lecture by OSH, which I understand would be conducted by someone who had never done the job. :groan: |

| 1144947 | 2010-10-15 06:51:00 | I second what Metla says. Unfortunately BM I can name at least 2 people who would still be alive today if Osh rules in the UK had been properly complied with |

| 1144949 | 2010-10-15 07:46:00 | I actually feel sorry for the "qualified horticulturists" who must have had to learn all the botanical names for the variety of plants on the reserve ... the OSH safety courses already attended in the safe use of motor mowers, weed eaters, and "dangerous" hand tools used in the tending of aforementioned plants and vegetation - e.g. spades, forks, rakes and shovels. Certainly this must be the equivalent of a double degree at Uni and I for one, believe that they just didn't have enough spare brain space to absorb and retain the highly complex material required to pass the CTRT degree" |

| 1144950 | 2010-10-15 08:15:00 | Oh well done. student sit NCEA and contractors sit multi choice exams on "how to step across two parallel iron rails" I appreciate kiwirails concern but it is ridiculous. we had a 95yr old (he was abot 87 at the time) neighbor who's access to a bus was by crossing the railway line then a private footbridge, its how he got into town to swim in the sea. almost every day without fail. kiwirail said no, he couldn't do that so padlocked his gate (and with his reluctant permission) tore down the rather rickety bridge. He's in private care in a different house so he's looked after now but for a while he used to walk 2-3km to the bus stop up the road. pretty shocking as the railway corridor is straight as an arrow for at least 1km in both directions. the joker knew when every train was going to come too, knew the times they passed his house off by heart |
