Health and Safety for Beginners Forums

The RPE you've mentioned is unlikely to cover smells from substances given it is a particulate respirator.

I've used Bolle in the past and my current employer uses them, they have set up an account so the line manager can approve what is wanted - photochromic, varifocal, price range on the frames etc, with or without an eye test. We issue out to the employee, they pick an optician from the list on the Bo...

We are looking at the P50 as the blurb says no annual inspection (they are provided by the PC, but the f/x service company are like cats and don't li...

I'm going through the blueprint, am I missing something, but does it really need a 500 word reflection on every CPD item logged?

The first draft is quite interesting, it may be optimised for automated keyword serices systems but reads terribly. Has anyone used a CV writing service? An...
