From: "Martin G Farnan", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Mr Kendrick, I'm afraid I do not know exactly what you think the NRA should comment on. If, in fact, you are referring to the misleading part of the attached statement that " trade union safety representatives have a right to see such information" this may be true and, if so, HAD MR ROYALL BEEN ACTING IN THIS CAPACITY AND MADE THE REQUEST IN THIS CAPACITY, he would, of course, have been given access to the appropriate entry in the Accident Book. Since other entries in the book could contain confidential about other members of the Association or other individuals using our ranges, it is simply NOT open to perusal by all and sundry. I am sure you would agree with this principle? As a matter of detail I have been through the entire file on the Mr Raves case and can find no request from Mr Royall to the Chief Executive for access to the Accident Book. If, on the other hand, you are referring to the statement that "Either some people at the NRA are ignorant of aspects of the 1974 HSAWA or they have something to be ashamed of. I think I know the answer." then I can state that neither conjecture is true. As an aside we are not aware of the "two Hospital incidents per year" to which Mr Royall refers. Any incidents which happen on our ranges are usually due, not to failure of a major component of a firearm , but to carelessness on the part of the firer him/herself, as in the case in question.
