Re: Try a Lathe

It's worth noting that those who object most vocally to workplace safety are the ones who back then would have owned the factories, not worked in them

No.

I object to certain bits of our H&S legislation. It's because they have little to no safety benefit but come at a huge cost. And a few I've experienced that make you more likely to have a bad accident (some of us wonder if the intention is to kill - it costs a couple of grand to bury someone, but it might cost a couple of hundred grand a month to care for them).

I've never owned a factory but have worked in several.
