As much as H & S CAN be taken too far sometimes, for once it is good to see an authority practising what is being preached for once. There are too many "authority" types spouting rules and regulations and then not following there own rulings. We use both WFP and Trad methods. Years ago we did work for a company who said "we do not allow ladder usage on our sites, great wfp being another tool we use we had no problem, or at least thought so. They renaged on payment, so off to court we went and obviously stopped doing work for them. We kept an eye on what was going on and yes they used a "trad" business to follow us!!!!? We caught up with him one day and found that his prices were lower than ours, and if the powers to be showed on site, he had to stop work and be discreet! So again price had dictated circumstance and overuled H & S regs. We got paid and heard that the trad guy stopped work for them took them to court aswell for non payment.
