Of course we could keep them, but the fact is that Boris Johnson and his ilk want to ditch many of the employer protection laws such as this..Can we not attribute that to evolution of working environments? Surely the nation who can build Rolls Royce jet engines can think of a safe way to get up and down a ladder?
Also, if you're gonna attribute that stat to the EU then I'll just throw a random stat in there, like all the 'Whiplash' claimers. The EU invented that sort of behaviour
We can keep the safety rules anyway, we don't lose the right to use what they have 'given' us (charged us heavily for) over the years, we can do what we like, we can make it even safer... Imagine that!
We can win world wars but cant climb a ladder of put a nut and bolt on a car safetly?
Nothing in health and safety laws that says you can't climb a ladder or fasten nuts and bolts..

I worked a manual lathe to 3 thou tolerances yet had to be trained to use a ladder any higher than two rungs.Nothing in health and safety laws that says you can't climb a ladder or fasten nuts and bolts..
There's millions of health and safety laws regarding ladders! There's one at my old work saying our window cleaner has to be harnessed and have his ladder clipped into to wall struts.
No strict guidelines..Only that people are trained to check that the equipment they are using is fit for purpose..
if you are working at high levels then these are surely sensible precautions to take. These are not binding by health and safety laws though otherwise ordinary window cleaners would be out of business. These are more down to the sue society we live in and businesses being scared of litigation.
Can't buy a pound of apples, can't have bent cucumbers, can't make our own laws, can't climb a ****ing ladder.
They'll ban the pint & the mile before long.
