Shocked

But then the French do seem to have a more "relaxed" view to extra-marital activities

Imagine the form-filling after such an accident:

1) What training have you received for this task?
2) When did you last have a refresher course?
3) What PPE were you wearing (hat / boots / hi-viz / other)?
4) What other precautions did you take?
5) Were you given written permission by your line manager and HR to commence this task?
6) What detailed instructions were you given and who was countersigning the steps as you completed them?
7) How many other team-members were involved?
8) Did this involve working at height?

You can imagine at the hearing
Question 8 refers to Xavier X working at height, does this mean he was on top when he died ? Shocked

Quote:
The company challenged a decision by the state health insurance provider to regard the death as a workplace accident.

The provider defended its position by insisting that sexual activity was normal, "like taking a shower or a meal".

In its ruling, the Paris appeals court upheld this view.
