H&SE Notice

In view of the impending Rapture on 21 May 2011 due to be followed by the end of the world on 21 October, the Health & Safety Executive has carried out a full risk assessment and offers the following advice to those ascending to heaven. Although the event may not be as busy as originally predicted as large numbers are now expected to be left behind to be eternally judged, participants should consider the following precautions. Items of safety clothing should be worn and may include, as a minimum, hard hat, steel capped shoes, hi-vis jacket, ear protectors and eye goggles. Ascendees should follow only the marked route. In the event of rain, please mind your step as conditions underfoot may be slippery. Please consider staggering your ascent as the first 2-3 hours are expected to be particularly popular. The H&SE has been advised that places at God's right hand are no longer available. A spokesperson for the organiser said 'We ask that particpants take all reasonable precautions; it would be a great shame if anyone actually died in the pursuit of eternal life'.


Separate advice will be issued to those remaining behind to be eternally judged and a further notice will be issued for the end of the world which is expected to pose exceptional hazards to everyday life.
