Not recognised by construction company Health and Safety Officer !! Al other equipment mentioned by Redearth is standard equipment and is recognised as such by H & S types........
That does sound a bit like someone making it up as they go along - a planning frame made out of reinforcing mesh (used as standard by archaeologists up and down the country) is not standard equipment, a trowel not used for its intended task and quite damaging to the wrists as a result is allowed on H&S grounds because it is 'recognised'. Can't say I have ever come across such randomness. You sure they weren't pulling you leg?
It's health and saftey gone mad I tells ye! I can't believe I just said that, my wife's going to kill me! (thanks to Greg Mitchell for that one).
