"A GARAGE owner who works on his own has been ordered by the Health and Safety Authority to remove calendars featuring photos of topless women or face possible censure"


Must be risky having naked pictures around the office maybe they think people are going trip up on there way out as they are too busy concentrating on the calenders on the wall..:rolleyes:

"he works on his own" maybe they keep him company

They've already backtracked and admitted they over reacted. Heard it on Newstalk a while ago.

Although in the interests of After Hours Preservation let's pretend they haven't, get outraged and compare them to Nazis before the end of the 2nd page of this thread.

What would calendars on a wall have to do with Health & Safety anyway?

biko

Wonder if he's allowed to smoke? Besides the risk from flammable liquids etc.

What a bunch of pricks, health and safety me hole. Their a bunch of know it all dick heads trying to make themselves seem important. What the **** has it got to do with them what's on the walls. He should go in to the office and begin a 3 hour rant at whoever sent him that letter. What a waste of time and effort, someone should be shown the door for such a ridiculous letter.

Even so, it shouldn't have come up in the first place, what where they thinking? This is the kind of crap our officials are at instead of doing real work.

Heard the inspector has it in for those calenders ever since one of them was rammed up his arse on a night out
They say date rape does strange things to a person.


Ps. HSA, stop wasting my fucking taxes you tossers.

Although now he has to wear safety goggles when he knocks one out while looking at the pictures.

I really think he should have considered the potential consequences. The man was clearly leaving himself open to being sued by himself for sexual harrasment....:rolleyes:

And some people wonder why Political Correctness is held is contempt by so many. Imagine this in say Italy or Spain, the official would have been suggesting more nekkidness not less.

Right too, he better be careful or he could be brought before a tribunal for sexual harassment!

And I thought they went overboard in England but at least you can see some reason in they're madness this is just sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong.

I tried, it's not really critical enough of them but it's a start.

The funniest quote about the story is from a local TD:

”We now have a situation in Limerick, where we have no minister, no bishop, no hurling team and you can’t even hang a Pirelli calendar on your wall.”

I'll take your word that they backtracked, though I've yet to read that myself.

But still, in all fairness, whoever it was in the HSA demanded the calendar be taken down needs to get out more. Is it any wonder the public sector gets such bad press when they go around doing things like this?

You'd wonder at the mindset alright.
This at a time when social workers can inspect a house where its obvious to the dogs on the street that neglect/abuse is happening and declare everything is fine "Sure I saw no nudey pictures on the wall"!
