A church is having to pay 1,300 to replace four 80p light bulbs because of new health and safety laws. The EU's "working at height" directive meant a full risk assessment had to be carried out and a scaffolding tower brought in to reach the bulbs.
implement pully lighting. :-)

40ft ...How far up do those mini hydraulic platforms extend to .
According to the paper the previous bills were £200 a time.

There was a bit on 'You & Yours' on R4 today. An interview with the electrical firm that did the work. Seems it wasn't just blown bulbs but faulty fittings. Which had to be sourced as near a match as possible and replaced. Which it seems involved drilling new fixing holes in the wall or ceiling. And they replaced all the other bulbs at the same time.
