I'm also on the correct side of the pond <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> We have first aid kits and fire extinguishers everywhere, people trained in their use and practice evacuation drills. Safety inspections once a week and people checking if fire exits are clear of obstructions. etc etc Under UK law safety is the responsibility of everyone. We have just been taked over by an American based multinational. Company policy for them is that safety is the responsibility of management. Vastly different approach.
