Unfortunately Davoe, far from first time dealing with these clowns. I had hoped common sense was creeping back in, but someone obviously found out and stopped that.
I had a laugh with your lightning danger induction though! So what do you do when you see lightning? Find a taller bloke to stand next to?

I might become unpopular with some for saying this, but this is typical of the safety people you get these days - all encompassing, blanket rules with no common sense.
And remember, they're all "advisors" now, not safety officers. In other words they can spout complete c**p, and don't have to take any responsibility themselves.

Worst thing was that it is true that part of the induction came about after a shift boss and 2 other people were inspecting a tailings dam with storm activity off in the distance then (apparantly) there was 1 bolt of lightning with none before or after that killed the shift boss (obviosly not a regular churchgoer) so instead of determining that when your time is up there is not much you can do they made it part of the induction
- if you hear it fear it
- if you see it flee it
now while i dont stand on beaches fishing during storms i dont live in mortal fear of lightning strikes
oh and by the way wouldnt have a clue bout roll bars for paj's

Eric!!
You should be ashamed of yourself!! You obviously had a mis-spent childhood!
All though.....come to think of it...that's nowhere near as silly as it sounds. You've got me thinking about permanently fixed, low profile, floor mounted brackets, and a quick connect / dis-connect bar. It could be fed in through the rear doors for the one day out of 5 or so that I have to go to site. Maybe a slide in, slide out arrangement.
It could even be something quite substantial and not entirely useless or false.
Good one Eric!

Regards
Russell

Buy an old cruiser ute or some other s/h 4by and just set that up for site work and leave the good 4by for all other stuff.
