The HSE said it was unbeliveable a major plc employing over 50,000 people had not carried out a proper risk assesment.

Reminds me of a freindly discussion I was having with my manager regarding extended walks,and the physical impact of such on the Human body.
He Replied,Did I honestly think a Company the size of RM would not carry out proper risk asessments.My answer was yes AND i stll stand by that .

Lets see RM risk assesments of what effect it will have on their workers for every half hour the walk is extended by ,surley this is a reasonable request wich should be easily available?

Your H&S Rep should be able to get hold of it for you. If it exists at all. Mine has aquired several for me in the past. We're all entitled to see them on request.
