Health and Safety Executive diversifies into fear and intimidation?

It's no secret I hate the Health and Safety Executive. They interfere in all sorts of daily business practices and dictate on common sense. I like to call them fascists which some people might think a little harsh, but their latest press release simple confirms my belief even more.

A director from a small construction company will be getting a taste of what happens when safety standards are allowed to slip, when the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) carries out a mock interview next week.

Construction is one of the most hazardous industries to work in, and the exercise will see the director being questioned on a fictitious workplace accident. The interview under caution will be held before a group of spectators, also from the construction industry.

The use of fear and intimidation by the state in order to control the actions of individuals? Nice!
