The difference arises from the fact that most HSE staff have some
industrial experience and/or a technical education, unlike the
sociologists and public administration experts who currently
grace the upper echelons of the police service.
For all his or her miserly salary and low public profile, even
the humblest HSE employee understands basic safety concepts such
as the difference between "risk" and "hazard", and the meaning of
the phrase "reasonably practicable".
Chief officers of police, by contrast, seem to understand only so
much of these concepts as is needed to hide their own self-
interest within the Trojan horse of "public safety".
Peter.
