Re: Health and safety
i would rather see the natural weeding out by Darwinism, than the EU safety police anyday! To quote that old adage...If you don't like it...no one is forcing you to stay.
For the original OP, a doctor once told me, that one of the reasons so many people get sick is that, in this day and age, they do NOT get exposed to germs and build up active robust immune systems....just saying

Re: Health and safety
Yes but getting hepatitis is not very likely is it...here is a real story, that happened to me, I had a job in the UK in the course of that job a junkie stabbed me with a used syringe with blood....I had shot after shot, intensive courses of drugs, I thought i had a death sentence, made my will, and made myself more ill through worry than from the initial incident. The Doctor told me, even if the syringe had anything, does not mean you will get it, the odds of getting infected from one incident are so small...they are not worth worrying about...and if you're luck is that bad...well if it wasn't that, then you would walk outside and some careless person would fall off a roof land on you and kill you anyway!!

Re: Health and safety
I am 35, been getting hair cut in US/Canada for almost the same amount of time, many of those years (13 on) with barbers using razors and haven't been infected yet. The razors and combs have always been kept in some sort of blue liquid, I assume its some sort of cleaner.
This is the stuff:
Barbicide Concentrate | Salon Disinfectant | Barbicide
and it's usually in this sort of jar:
Barbicide Jars | Barbicide
and is effective in killing:
Proven effective against HIV-1, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Staphylococcus (including MRSA), Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Clostridium Difficile (C.Diff), Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Herpes, Influenza (including H1N1), “Athletes Foot” (TineaPedis)
I can't say I have ever been to a barber shop that didn't have this jar of blue liquid and kept their razors in it when not in use.

Re: Health and safety
I'm rather grateful for health and safety measures that protect me from the stupidity and avarice of others.

Re: Health and safety
And if we all glow in the dark after all those x-rays....suddenly the road death toll falls..and the churches win as all those glowing people falling off roofs convince people angels are coming from heaven....everyones a winner!
