Shows Dates
Navigation
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the EEF, the
manufacturers’ organisation, will be running a series of noise and vibration
roadshows across Great Britain in September and October 2005.
New legislation on the control of risks in the workplace from
vibration will come into force in Great Britain from July 2005 and noise
regulations will be updated in early 2006.
The events will be aimed at company risk managers which include
amongst others, managing directors, production managers, health and safety
advisors and safety representatives. Delegates will gain an insight into
the practical side of risk management, and will also learn what they need to do
to arrange effective health surveillance for exposed employees.
Mike Shepherd, HSE's Noise and Vibration Programme Manager
commented:
"Noise and vibration are major health risks for millions of
workers throughout Great Britain, and the new regulations provide a sound
framework for tackling these problems effectively.
"The aim of the roadshows is to show employers that these new regulations are
quite straightforward and workable. They will provide us with the chance to
explain the new regulations in more depth, to demonstrate practical solutions
and to answer questions employers and others may have."
Steve Walter, EEF's health and safety policy adviser commented:
"We plan to make the roadshows informative and engaging. It
is important that employers get the opportunity to talk to experts in HSE and
ask questions about issues that concern them. The issues on vibration are very
topical at the moment and we want a real dialogue and exchange between the
audience and the experts to take place. We welcome our member companies but also
other employers, members of trade associations and safety representatives."
