Health and Safety for Beginners Forums

Having had Dave as a supervisor previously I would always tend to take heed of any advice coming from him. I would question the L&D adviser over the IOSH instructor statement. There is no requirement to be registered with BSC to deliver IOSH training. From the IOSH website All trainers who wish...

Hi Ian Sit tight my friend. Wait and see what the new manager does and what he can offer you. The company are maybe unsure if you have the experience to carry the main role - I have been there before - and disappointing as it is - you always learn from a new person coming in. The newbie is going to...

Hi all It has actually been a while since I come to these forums, for those that saw my last post: https://www.healthandsafetytips.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=47445&p=348409#p348409 My manager leaves next Friday 18th May, I did not get his position which I applied for and currently in l...

I too would be interested in this answer.

My HS&E Manager has said he will this year get me in IEMA instead of Nebosh Environment course, what the difference is though I don't know.

Darn it!! Yes, The devil is in the detail for sure. I was 1000% confident I got it right after checking the picture more than several times I must admit. Then I saw it.... Great example though of not jumping to conclusions at a first glimpse. What I have learnt today, If something seems wrong/iffy I...

Thanks all for you posts, sorry I have not replied since. I have had a meeting with trainers from other businesses in my company and our policy is now clear on training. Full training course, that lasts 3 years. -Unless there's and incident or the operator has become unsure then a competency check o...

Hi all Long time viewer, not much of a poster. Thought I would officially introduce myself. So I am a Production Worker on a secondment in the H&S department, on loan to the HS&E Manager. My first 3 months consisted on reading Policies, RA's, COSHH, Management Systems, etc etc. Lot's of read...

Hi again all Just a general question really, I have searched the interwebs and not finding quite what I am looking for (If it exists) I am after a pocket booklet with HASAWA sections (Basic, generalising what each section is about) If possible the same for other sets of legislation MHASAWR etc There...

Youngnick Appreciate your reply thank you, I think that is the conclusion I come to myself but wanted an outside opinion also. Leea training is something I have asked my employer for myself, so hopefully I can make this happen and get a more solid structure brought into the workplace and a good refr...
