The Joys of Health and Safety

A playground

Traipsing through a bit of holiday of late, I had the opportunity to take a number of children (including nieces and nephews) over to a local park. It’s a wonderful little place for children to play.

I was having a blast playing tag, chasing the children and enjoying a great afternoon out of the office.

Until I ran out of breath and happened to stop in front of a particular post on the playground. The warning notice caught my attention.

A healty and safety warning

Wow. That’s a buzzkill.

But then, did they really need to add that sticker on the playground pieces? Could they not have just included a warning letter in the packaging? Could the manufacturer not have run seminars for companies selling and installing its products on how to safety install a playground?

The rest of my time on the playground was decidedly less carefree and playful.
