I did wonder and was always a bit suspicious why the HSE always turned up on our jobs whenever we worked in a particular area. It never bothered me too much as he never came back to me for anything but always had something to say about something to the PC.
We won another job on a fair size of building but they only wanted half doing then move it to do a smaller part. It changed when they realised the first stage was going to be a nightmare and going to take a lot longer than anticipated so they appointed another contractor to do the smaller job on the front who inturn appointed another firm to supply their scaffold who unbeknown to me had reported our job to the HSE. The only problem for him was he was now on the job by the time the hse came down to investigate. He immediately gave our job the all clear and went round the front to inspect the other firms work and shut them down immediately.
I couldn't stop laughing for a week, get it right round you ya ****.
