Abstract :
The paper states that modern health and safety regulations have become an obstacle to innovation and adventure. Britain´s Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) celebrates its 35th anniversary. No one can doubt the value of sensible safety regulations applied to work places and public venues. A long and sordid history of accidents and injuries tells us that some employers and entrepreneurs will always be tempted to cut corners. Even so, there is a widespread perception that we are all but immobilised by ´health and safety gone mad´.
