    As a farm is a workplace, OSH reg's do apply. The only case for an argument would be a lifestyle block that was not a commercial venture.

    The juicy bit lies in the part that says you are nor liable under OSH rules for injuries sustained by persons on your land without your knowledge. That's because A.C. fucking C. will get you instead!
    ACC - It's where the Enron accountants all went.

    It's ok - I've heard the govt is going to form a committee to help solve the problem!

    That'll have it beaten in the fewest years possible...

    According to a report on the OSH case, it was decided that the bridge was not the bee-keepers work place. Just as the roads we travel to work are not ours.
    How that leaves cops is an interesting point. Can the Police be charged if a cop is injured due to an unsafe situation on a road?
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    It doesn't just stop there, Lou - a commercial vehicle is defined as being a workplace, and, presumably, so do cop cars. Except the gummint owns the cop cars and the roads, and, as we all know, the gummint is not responsible for anything...

    (ps - the old man says Gidday)
    ACC - It's where the Enron accountants all went.
