Health and safety

The same as the rest of the world our business is bogged down with health and safety issues. Our boys that work on sites as opposed to domestic situations have to carry a card that states they are qualified to be there and have trained in health and safety issues.
Here are some questions from the training manual:

You must wear head protectoin on site at all times unless you are:
A self emloyed
B working alone
C in a safe area like the office
D working in hot weather

It is safe to work close to an overhead powerline if:
A you do not touch the powerline for more than 30 seconds
B you use a wooden ladder
C the power is switched off
D it is not raining

I don't know how my fellow co. workers (idiots?) will fare with these questions but I know I would select different answers for different co. workers that should eliminate a few of them.
