Health and safety culture: in its true sense an essential element for avoiding work accidents, in the tabloid-driven pejorative a bane to all that is fun, dynamic, life-enhancing and spontaneous.
From the perspective of unions, workers, personal injury solicitors and safety experts it has always been clear that the first of these definitions is accurate. For, far from being a threat to the traditions of Britain, health and safety culture helps make us civilised. It is not something that defines us and we are not in its thrall.
That is why it is so hard to stomach alarmist headline-grabbing nonsense about conkers being banned, the death of the beach donkey ride or the end of childhood snowball fights.
Indeed, it has even been reported that pancake races have been called off across the UK because of concerns about participants sustaining personal injury.
Why then, one wonders was the HSE's Stephen Williams, the chief inspector of construction, a man who will know more than most about work accidents, recently pictured competing in a pancake race? Surely it must have been photoshopped.
No, not at all. Because, like all the other stories it turns out the pancake race ban is just a myth.
After the event, Williams said, "Health and safety is often blamed for stopping anything and everything that is fun, but I can confidently say that there is no reason or rule to cancel fun events such as this on the grounds of health and safety or risk assessment. For an organisation such as HSE, that exists to prevent loss of life and injury in the workplace, it is deeply frustrating when health and safety is used as an excuse to hide other less convincing reasons. Our job is to prevent death, injury and ill health to those affected by work, a role we are proud of."
