Nige, I know what you mean,
policies are rolled out by the board of directors,
H&S department has to turn them into procedures,
managers have to print hem off and hand them to the supervisors,
supervisors have to train the workforce,
the workforce ignore them so they can get the work done.
When things go wrong the board are ok as thing were in place,
the workers get shafted as they didn't follow the procedures.
Nothing is safer but arses are covered.
As a supervisor, health and safety rep, first aider and fire marshal, I get roasted for not making sure every one was folowing the rules that don't allow you to get the job done.
I just pray no one gets hurt.
