New Health and Safety Minister pronounces a war against zealots

The new minister for Health and Safety yesterday used the word `potty' to describe health and safety `jobsworths'.

Mike Penning announced war on over-ardent authorities who abuse laws intended to ensure the general population. In an elite question with the Daily Express, he recounted his `anger' at a few choices.

The pamphlets were printed to decrease the danger of binmen getting musculoskeletal issues from needing to maul canisters rather than draw them along on their wheels.

He spoke out in the wake of seeing the Daily Express anecdote about Coventry City Council disseminating many delineated pamphlets to advise occupants the best edge to forget containers.

The Daily Express additionally uncovered that a 156-year-old Easter Morris moving convention in Bacup, Lancashire, faces the hatchet on health and security grounds since a few observers have in the past stood in the way.

Mr Penning who took over his post recently urged the general population to `stand up to jobsworths' by reporting misuses to the Health and Safety Executive's Challenge Panel. It has been set up to handle absurd choices taken, wrongly, in the name of health and wellbeing.
