There's a *world* of difference between ensuring that you don't
"accidentally" kill people and having to delay painting some flamin'
railings for "H&S assessments".

Is this the first time Silverlink have ever painted railings?
But there's so much to risk assess - people getting wet paint on them,
putting foot in paint tin, accidently being stabbed in eye by paint brush,
"wet paint" sign being blown loose by passing train and decapitating young
child, meteor hitting station.... etc. etc..

Good old H&S - a goldmine when it comes to coming up for excuses why things
can't be done...
