I'm not really sure where you're going with this. You're just naming things - are you against them? Do you think safety at work is a bad thing? You say you wouldn't be arrested if you filled in the form wrongly but I am quite sure you'd be in trouble if you hadn't and then an employee was badly injured or died. And quite rightly, in my opinion. You perhaps don't need to fill in a form to keep people safe but unfortunately there are employers who will dangerously cut corners if they could get away with it.

So energy efficiency and safety at work. Any other ghastly intrusions from Europe that we can do away with?
