Elfinsafety, done properly, is risk based not rule based. It requires
each situation to be evaluated and sensible decisions to be made which

responsibility and authority.

Some time ago I was filming on a large building site. We all had to have a
half morning H&S lecture - same as all of their staff - before even being
allowed in for the recce. And had to wear all their clobber - hi-vis, hard
hats, boots, gloves and safety specs. And were informed only 110v was
allowed on the site.

We filmed there on a Sunday when the site was closed...
