favourite Bob The Builder has come under fire from safety campaigners for flouting safety rules. Bob has been accused of setting a bad example to his young fans — and even endangering the lives of his fellow characters. In one episode, the TV construction worker has been condemned for violating seven workplace safety laws from swinging from the side of his bulldozer, Muck, and walking under heavy equipment dangling from a crane. He doesn’t wear a seatbelt when he’s driving and allows his pal Wendy to visit his building site without a hard hat on. A spokesman for the Royal Society For The Prevention Of Accidents warned: “Although it’s entertainment, it’s good if they show good safety practice. A lot of people watch the show so it should be used to prevent accidents.” The Sun 10/1/02.
