  Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with views expressed against the HSE and "safe" culture we are now submerged in, I also think we need to look long and hard at ourselves. It is us, Joe Public, who encourage and keep in business the "ambulance chasers". As a defence against these leeches and the greedy public, the HSE provides some protection for companies liable to be sued at the drop of a hat these days.
  
  What is needed is, balance.
  
  Employers need to provide safe working environments and methods; the Unions could help here by taking a positive approach instead of fighting everything that either moves or looks like it might move. Employees need to follow the advice and rules. We all need to lose the 'pound signs in our eyes' the minute something goes wrong. The Judiciary need to reduce compensation payouts to sensible, and fair, numbers.
  
  This is a challenge for us all, not just the politicians.
