I have to point out, as is most of the health and safety nonsense in this country; it's nothing to do with the health and safety executive, and entirely to do with an over-zealous jobsworth who doesn't understand the actual requirements of the legislation.

Triangular Flapjacks aren't dangerous. Throwing anything with weight at someone's eye is the dangerous bit.

I work around the field of health and safety, and I agree that the litigation culture is a part of the problem. The other factor is that a huge amount of health and safety officers are entirely theoretical based. I.e. they carry out risk assessments etc while they are sitting at a desk, and have very little or no experience of practically implementing h&s policies. As a result, they end up with a skewed and over the top policy, which in the cold light of day is actually lunacy. They interpret the existing legislation in a nonsensical way.

Could the school get sued for having triangular 'dangerous' flap jacks? No.
Could they be sued for consistently not maintaining discipline, and allowing food to be thrown around all the time, resulting in repeated injuries? Absolutely.

Edit - typo

The sad thing is, the law hasn't really changed since 1974 - the health and safety at work act hasn't been amended since. It's all overreaction to the fear of litigation. That's pretty much the only import I'd like to send back to America. (I'll keep McDonald's and Hollywood thanks).
