BBC News wrote:Conservative leader David Cameron has called for an end to the UK's "over-the-top" health and safety culture.
In a speech, he said this had created a "stultifying blanket of bureaucracy, suspicion and fear".
In recent years, he added, children had been told to wear goggles to play conkers and trainee hairdressers had been banned from using scissors.
But Labour said Mr Cameron's views were based on "myth" and that the system was "sensible and proportionate".
The Conservative leader announced a review of the rules when he spoke to the Policy Exchange think tank.
