Thanks for your unbiased advice - That's all I asked for .
The new baby is irrelevant to my condition , done it twice before .

It's easy to make wise comments when your ok yourself , People come on these forum's for some support - not to have the law laid down to them by people who have no idea what a hard day's work is.

Honestly, just because someone points out differing opinions it doesnt mean that they dont care.

One of the things I do is to enforce against businesses who do not provide adequate rest facilities for staff, investigate accidents at work and undertake inspections to prevent

It doesnt sound like you have a "hard days work" but that the basic facilities that any employer has to provide is not being provided.

it also sounds to me that the way work is distributed is intrinsically unfair and that its not 'about you' that is that whomever replaces you will probably have the same workload issues, the same access to rest facilities issues, the same working hours issues.

I come from the position that employers do have responsibilities to ensure the jobs are safe. You shouldn't be forced into a life of poverty ( with those greater health impacts on you and your family) and that there is a system of law to protect all employees thats there to protect us all at work.
