Health and safety in the Brigade

"Health and Safety is very much an issue with the Brigade"

Health and Safety is very much an issue with the Brigade. Obviously where we are and what we do, the first thing in any event is make sure that you protect yourself. What you can’t have is a second casualty. It’s very easy to become the second casualty if you go ahead and do something that you shouldn’t, therefore health and safety is paramount within the brigade- nobody does anything without thinking first of their own safety.
