I think Met and his missus are only ever seen in public in the full kit.

Very Chic in Wanga.

I wondered if you had found the answer in Australia.

1383612 2014-09-13 12:22:00 The control should be relative to the risk, Never seen what you have outlined out in the real world.

The safety component of a house build is a tiny part of the big picture, Just like the cost of treating injuries far exceeds safety costs.

Perhaps not the 600mm part, that was an example given by a Worksafe inspector. What I have seen however is a site given a prohibition order to prevent them from using a 1.65m scaffold without handrails.
I have also heard of an entire new subdivision shut down because Fall protection from a roof was insufficient on 1 house. (Sub division was mostly operated by one company).

What's funny, is that going home a couple of weeks ago, was a home handyman (assumption) standing on an extension ladder, standing on top of a mobile scaffold, painting his chimney. I wonder what OSH/Worksafe would have to say about that.

1383614 2014-09-13 21:10:00 What's even worse is watching the block NZ while they had cranes on site for the roofs and not one contestant had a hard hat or safety vest, sheer madness. Osh should have been there after all the evidence is out in the public domain gary67 (56)

Indeed, you have to ask how they survived such madness.
