The articles below are an ongoing series of Health & Safety newsletters produced by C&A Safety Solutions. December 08 - Safe Driving
Are you a safe driver? Everyone will answer: Yes! But are we really? Safe driving is largely common sense and we should all have lots of that to spare! Do you obey the law, or have you not yet been caught? November 08 - Fire Safety
Fire safety is a topic that should always be on our minds; after all, none of us want the building to burn down and for us to lose our jobs, do we? This newsletter considers some of the questions that should always be kept in mind when considering fire safety. October 08 - Mobile Towers
Mobile towers are considered simple to erect: this is a problem, as it means that very few untrained personnel take note of the instructions for their mobile tower. September 08 - Working from Scaffolding
Scaffolding is the main work platform on many construction sites and its use is covered by the Working at Height regulations. It must be regularly checked and recorded, usually weekly, by a competent person. August 08 - Ladder work
Ladders are still one of the most used items for access and for lone working. They are also easily misused and cause many serious injuries. July 08 - Low Level Work
Falls from low level are still a cause of concern for many industries; often the injured person does not appreciate that the risks associated with working at lower levels can be just as great as those faced when working above 2 metres. June 08 - Slips, Trips and Falls
Employers and staff in the food manufacturing, retail, catering, construction and maintenance sectors are being targeted in a new hard-hitting campaign from the HSE; it is designed to show the full human and financial cost behind the annual accident statistics. |
