The ultimate in health and safety

I went to Morrisons RDC on Crag Lane in Bradford a few years ago, on going to the bog outside the security hut (scum drivers were not allowed to use the others), I notice attached to the Belisha beacon on the pedestrian crossing in the yard a little quiver tied to the beacon with sticks with little triangles of cut up Hi-Viz jackets at the end, I was wondering what they were for when it dawned on me, and a Morrisons driver confirmed it, if you were using the crossing you were to take a stick with the Hi-Viz triangle on it and wave it above your head as you crossed, there will be a ■■■ in an office being paid 340,000 a year for thinking of idiocy like that.
