Such checks are the result of the lazy, thoughtless implementation of safety management systems by people who are too stupid to understand the implications of what they are getting people to do. It really is representative of a "box ticking" mentality which, a), drives people mad, b) doesnt achieve what should be the true aim of reducing risk and, c), results in people wasting time/money / energy in writing angry emails like this.

Rant over - will get my coat now.....
well said that man, another example of utter SH**E

do we need a Grumpy Old Man section for the likes of me?
