There's this thing we used to do on occasion if warranted......It's called "Work to Rule". You would be amazed just how slow things can go if you follow every minute detail ("rule") of the contract to the "T".

Did you spot a possible Health and Safety issue? You better call Environmental Health and Safety and have them check it out.

Inspection and Testing? Take your time, you don't want to miss anything.

Did you feel a little tug in your leg muscle? No need to take any chances so you should report that to your supervisor.

Feeling slightly feverish today? Better call in sick because you don't want to be spreading anything around.

You get the idea.....
