I often see inappropriate instructions, almost all seem to be someone
making H&S up as they go along.

Latest one I came across is the warning label stuck on the side of a brand
new Ikea stainless steel kitchen sink.

"This appliance must be earth bonded (IEE regulations 15th edition 1981)"

People making dogmatic H&S utterances really should try to keep up to date.
I don't know if earth bonding kitchen sinks was a requirement in the 15th
edition (it was in the old 13th edition that I still have a copy of) but it
hasn't been needed since the 16th.
