    I would expect far more manual workers are familiar with practical risk assessments compared to most office staff.

    You’re probably correct on the whole, but there’ll still be plenty of people in offices doing it too, and those ones that do will probably be doing it for other people to follow (or not depending on how worldly wise the risk assessment actually is)

    I would suggest that the theoretic stuff from office staff will be reworked by people that actually need to apply it on a practical level. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Covid: Vaccines for all every four to six months not needed, says expert.

    Prof Pollard told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It really is not affordable, sustainable or probably even needed to vaccinate everyone on the planet every four to six months.

    "We haven't even managed to vaccinate everyone in Africa with one dose so we're certainly not going to get to a point where fourth doses for everyone is manageable."

    There is not "full certainty" on whether another booster might be needed in the UK, added Prof Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group.

    He said the UK would be in a good position if variants continued to lead to milder disease, as has been the case with Omicron.

    "We may well need to have boosters for the vulnerable in the population but I think it's highly unlikely that we'll have programmes going forwards regularly of boosting everyone over the age of 12," he added.

    Prof Pollard said those who would need further boosters were likely to be older adults or those with health conditions.

    "There will be new variants after Omicron," he added. "We don't yet know how they're going to behave - and that may completely change the view on what the right thing to do is."

    Prof Pollard is chair of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which advises the government on vaccines, but he has no involvement in decision-making on Covid-19 vaccinations in the UK.

    Whoops, looks like the Aussies ****ed up. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    A leaked letter has revealed that unvaccinated tennis players were told they could attend the Australian Open provided they had Covid within the last six months - piling pressure on Tennis Australia bosses over the Novak Djokovic border debacle.

    To qualify, players were told to provide a Covid-positive PCR test dated after July 31 along with antibody tests proving natural immunity 'if available'.

    They told him he could play & he can play IF the Australian Government let him in.
    Ooops sorry can't come in, but if they'd let you in you could have played, honest

    It says that the position needed to be clarified not that it was. Although it does look as it was implied in an earlier letter.

    Hard to feel sympathy for Joko but the Aus authorities really have made a pigs ear of this.

    The border control may be clear in the rules to enter the country, but then there are individual state rules. Then the tennis association who wanted all the top players there gave their own conditions to play in the competition.

    This photo shoot didn't quite go to plan for Javid when he was questioned by a doctor who's prevuiosly being working in icu covid wards.
    Shows the absurdity of some Government decisions, sacking people like this isn't helping the Nhs.

    Don't worry we're bringing in the army to help.

    There are nearly 100,000 vacancies in the NHS
    Somewhere near 40,000 on sick or isolating with/from Covid
    Another 50,000ish off sick with other stuff

    There are 200 army staff deployed to help the NHS

    A man reads a paper having been in a job for 6 months and thinks he can tell a highly educated man who trained for maybe 5 years and then practiced for many many more, on the front line exposed to the disease, death and suffering and tell him he's wrong... Is him losing a job bringing pressure on the NHS.... you bet your arse it is..
