He was in full possession of all the information he needed to make his decision, but he ignored my advice, set his ladder on the decking and inevitably fell.  Should that be a criminal offence?  
  

Although I agree with your post the fact is that had that been an employee not a franchisee YOU would have been at fault. Not only do you have to train them you have to ensure that they follow the training given.

Did you know that in summer we have to ensure that our employees wear suncream. That is not to say we have to simply supply it, we have to ensure they use it.

Do I agree with that? No. But if I don't adhere to it I am leaving myself open to all sorts of problems.

The problem with most health and safety people is that they are not interested in the health or safety of anyone. All they are interested in is ensuring that their companies / clients are not held responsible if / when something goes wrong. It is a blame culture we live in. It is very sad but it's true.

As it happens I have a solution to your problems............

Care to elaborate?

You said it yourself!!  If your employees were franchisees, you wouldn't have any of the problems associated with employing.
