Apple publishes results of supply-chain health and safety audits .
Last year, the technology giant, manufacturer of Apple Mac computers and i-Pad devices, conducted a total of 229 audits throughout its supply chain – an increase of 80 per cent on 2010 – and looked in detail at health & safety and environmental issues.
Just 38 per cent of suppliers audited were found to be in compliance with its policy of no more than 60 hours in a working week.

Health and safety used as excuse by UK border-control staff
The Commons Home Affairs Committee has criticised the UK border Agency for using health and safety as a “routine” excuse for not following recommended procedures.
Home Office guidance is supposed to relate to “significant” health and safety problems, such as a build-up of passengers in an airport arrivals hall such that those disembarking from more recently landed aircraft could not be accommodated, thus preventing aircraft from landing. However, it seems to have been used locally as a management tool to make life easier.
