Re: PUWER, Machine Directive & Earthing

Thanks for the replies. So basically most of the production machines are made into lines, which if they are not touching each other, they are very close and generally made of metal and most contain a conveyor of some sort. Most of our equipment is hard-wired in, but historically we have never comple...

PUWER, Machine Directive & Earthing

Hi there, I have been contracted to perform PUWER assessments on some manufacturing lines. Currently the line is not earthed in-line and i am worried if a fault state occured other parts of the line could energise.

Training suite / DVD

Hi all, I searched for training but it returned too many results. I need to train around 100 people in basic training; fire, coshh, manual handling etc... Any good DVD's (that aren't an 80's throw back) or similiar online training suites that actually provide good content? I am dubious of training t...

Re: Machine Guarding

You could have an external machine assesor come to review the design to back up your risk assessment... TUV SUD would probably be able to do this; i went on a european machine safety course with them and it was excellent; would probably send a couple of you on that too so you know all the ins and ou...

Re: WEEE regs interpretation

Sorry for the late reply.. Nope, not one mention of our company at all on any of our customers products. We are simply contracted to manufacture but then send back to our customer who will brand etc the manufactured goods. I have basically setup a WEEE stream for electronic components, populated PCB...

Re: Fire Watch time

Ask to see their risk assessment, ask to see their hot work permit. Can you prove their works caused the fire? What felt standard is used (see below) http://www.practicalroofing.uk/flat-roofing/felt-roofs/ - Honestly, i'd give other roofers or professional bodies a call to see standard practice, usu...

WEEE regs interpretation

Hi all, A moment of self doubt when understanding WEEE reg requirements. Basically the business is a contract electronics manufacturer, sell purely B2B, do not place onto market at all, produces nothing under it's own brand. To what extent to the WEEE regs apply. My interpretation is that they are o...

Safety shoes, occupational health

Hi there, I have recently introduced occupation safety shoes to one of our production areas after a risk assessment. The shoes are the same brand that the had before, with addition of around 15g in weight due to the cap. An operator claimed that his new shoes gave him a bad back, he sits down most o...

Re: Working with old paper files

Thank you all for your advice. I shall be going into work tomorrow and asking for a risk assessment as this wasn't done. I was also going to take my own mask in too for now and ask that they provide replacements. I will let you know how I get on EmmaJ ;) Legally, any required PPE must be provided, ...

Occupational Asthma / LEV related claims

Hi there, Does anyone know of any cases involving a company being fined through not providing sufficent extraction for particulants? I need to build a business case as to why we need to improve LEV in a particular room as a result from machine operation. I already know they won't like the cost and a...
