District Court Judge in 1994:

 

'any system of work in which workers are subject to no precautions but those arising from the worker's common sense, is liable, if not certain, to be condemned as an unsafe measure'.

 

And there's me thinking that 'common sense' was common!

 

Have a safe day!

Cheers, Brian.
