Whats with the Humble Bummblings Sausage Sizzel  Now they are trying to tell us just where the onions should be placed . Bread , onions , Snag  & not the other way around . The onions if dropped on the floor could be a slip hazard .

It’s a sad litigious world we live in now isn’t it. Can’t have people looking where they walk, they’re to busy looking at social media on thier phones instead.

Yep, thats right.

AND, before you can apply to go in the draw to run one, you have to attend their "information evening" where a green apron girl spends 2 hours explaining the way everything must be done (call it a site induction I suppose?). Our local bunnings has 2 draws per year, and your organisation must be pre-registered and have attended the info session prior to each draw being conducted or you will not be eligible, and then your name may not even be picked. Mind you, it's worth about $2k in sausage & drink sales if you can get a Saturday BBQ, so worth jumping through a few hoops.

Sadly, in this day and age, if someone went kettle up on a sausage, they'll probably sue both bunnings and the bbq charity  >:( which is probably why your charity needs to provide evidence to bunnings that you have $20m public liability cover as part of the application process.

Well, you are essentially a subcontractor operating in their workplace, so a site induction is required under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.

Yeah, in most situations it is totally over the top, but, In my job I got given the job of Hazchem Manager (gee, thanks ???), so get to go to all the safety meetings and see the incident investigations. I have since learnt to never underestimate the ability of highly experienced and smart people to do stupid things (usually in the hope of saving 5 minutes but adding days and $$ to the process), or for a simple task to go pear shaped and injure someone.

With the way the workplace laws are for workers and contractors and the So Far as Reasonably Practical approach to minimizing risk, I'm surprised you can go to Bunning's to buy anything and not have to don safety glasses, steel caps and high vis. Cars, trucks, forklifts and pedestrians all in a shared zone, hazchem and dangerous goods on random shelves throughout the store. Must be a fun job for the safety guy.

It was only put as a "suggestion" and does make sense.
Apart from that I prefer the onion on the bottom, cause it doesn't fall off taking the sauce with it.

Based on my last  experience, a few years ago, the sausage itself probably was more dangerous than any slippery onion ring.

I sent your comment to my son who works for a small outfit supplying stuff to the oil and gas industry.

Here is his reply

“We are supposed to have a safety data sheet for everything in the warehouse.  Even just general cleaning supplies under the sink because it could be a hazardous chemical and we are a commercial premises.  Everything we import we get an SDS/GHS (Global Harmonized System) and are required to supply that to the transporter, the client anyone and any tom dick or harry who asks for it.  Yet as the guy says there is no obligation on retailers to supply these to customers.  I could walk in and pick up a thing of drain cleaner and eat it.

There are alot of exemptions for business that operate in a retail environment.  I bet all the chemical companies that supply bunnings and the like have to jump through many regulatory hoops with endless risk analysis and  paperwork to get products delivered onto the site.  Then bunnings go and stick the chlorine and the acid next to each other on the shelf.“

And watch out for slippery onions

I'm sure they have all the paperwork available on request, but I'm also sure they overly rely on a rubbery interpretation of this consumer product clause of the legislation:

Quote
Hazardous chemical label not required

In general a label is required for any hazardous chemical used in the workplace, however there are some that don’t need workplace labelling under the model WHS Regulations.

Consumer products

A hazardous chemical doesn’t need to comply with the labelling requirements of the model WHS Regulations if it’s a consumer product with the original label on its container, and it’s foreseeable it will be used in the workplace in:

    a quantity that is consistent with consumer household use
    a way that is consistent with consumer household use
    a way that is incidental to the nature of the work carried out by a worker using the chemical.
https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/labelling

And it causes no end of confusion. A bottle of spray and wipe under the kitchen sink to occasionally wipe the desk is fine, but on the cleaners cart has to have GHS labeling and an SDS available.


No mention of safe handling of meat products nor caramelized bulb vegetables in the legislation either.

Don't get your knickers in a knot over it, wait till they make them Vegan snags, then you can go troppo ;D
Can't have pork either cos it offend you know who!!!
Perhaps they may not even allow snags soon as they have a gender specific identity!!!

So I can't have a sausage with onion on top but I still can walk onsite into a Bunnings store wearing thongs, enter the tool department and pick up a chisel and accidentally drop it on to my foot.
I can also go pick up a ? Shelving system weighing 40 kg with no manual handling  assistance.

If Bunnings were serious about WHS then we should be wearing capped boots, safety glasses and gloves but we know WHS has a cost attached to it but that would be a cost too much and they would lose revenue from reduced patronage.

Maybe the snag will identify itself as a rissole, so they will have to change the name to Saturday morning gender neutral cooked food extravaganza !!   ;D

I don’t see the big deal. Sometimes I put my sauce on the bread first and sometimes I put it on the sausage after it is in the bread. Same with the onion. Depends on where the congestion is during the assembly.

Nope, snags, bread, onions, condiments and bread are to be supplied by the fundraising body.

I don't eat onions, friggin hate the things, make me sick 7 different ways to Sunday.

So, i now feel, because i'm in the minority, i'm being discriminated against for my onion allergy.

So, to prove a point, I went to Bunnings yesterday and asked for my sausage to be handled and placed in a different order.
Well, didn't that cause an uproar.

I insisted, because i'm exempt from the onion thing, I wanted them to put the bread on top and the sausage below. (because its my right)

I ended up with burnt fingers, as the sausage was too hot.
The margarine was at an abnormal temperature, so it was melting and dripping on my toes and thongs.
My sausage fell out in plain view of everyone, dropped on the ground and as I stepped forward, it impacted with my foot.
I ended up kicking the sausage as I stepped forward and it shot across the car park and was about to roll down a drain.

NOOOOOO, I screamed, as my pork (Fukk 'em) $2.00 snag slipped through the grate and landed with a splash in the stagnant water in the drain.

I put my bread down near the drain, hoisted the steel grate up and fished out my snag.
During this, some cocksmoker in a Volvo, nearly hit me, swerving at the last minute and luckily, he did miss me, but he did run over my bread.

I scrapped my Volvo flattened bread up and put my wiped down sausage back in it. It was still covered in some green stuff, but it wouldn't wipe off.
It was truly a very sad sight and you know what, you can't hardly eat 'em after all that.

This would have to be one of the smartest Free Advertising campaigns going .. Sales are a bit slow Sooo ...
 Create an uproar over a trivial thing and everyone jumps on the social media yapping about **** at Bummings ... Then the idiot box mob get a sniff of something as big as a pimple on a babies bum to turn into Mount Vesuvius on a slow news day  ..
 PRESTO  "  FREE NATIONAL  MEDIA ADVERTISING " everyone is talking about Bummings ..  ;D ;D  SUCKERS  !

Then get some DOPEY SPLORE FOOTED farmer hick that hasnt got enough brains to watch / know where he's walking,  to say " It was meeee,  I slipped on an ungin from Bummings "  .. To authenticate it .
