Re: safety glasses when soldering
Red, it comes down to the risk assessment. If you think that safety goggles should be worn then recommend it. I would suggest you use the skills and knowledge of the staff who actually do the work because they may have a different opinion to their supervisor. As an example, I do not think that safet...

Re: fire safety at work advice
When I started in my current role, I removed 1 of the microwaves and one toaster. Not because they were a fire hazard but because the BBC could have made a whole series about the bacteria and other life forms living withinin them.

Re: report legnth
Paul Completely agree. When I write reports for my boss, it can take me anything from half an hour to a day or so depending on the subject matter simply because I like to ensure that I get all of the salient facts, in a logical order and have justifiable recommendations.
