This a fun, great way that the HSE is showing that it is working on banishing the Myth that Health & Safety are trying to ban things:

I particularly like the one on Bonfires that was sent out in October 2008.

Whats your favourite Health & Safety myth?

Sidenote: Asbestos is one of the very few things that HSE that has directly banned! (It is directly known to have killed many, unlike conkers which are being banned by scared schools not the HSE)
