Re: Fire Warden Coverage
I think there are some recommended ratios but not a legal requirement. For Low, Medium and High Risk premises I seem to recall a ratio of 1 to 50, 20 and 15. However, I also recall other recomendations of doing it per floor, so if you have 50 over 2 floors, its 2 wardens not 1 in a low risk. Then lo...

Re: When is COSHH risk assessment needed
Posting a link to the MSDS might help someone explain specific sections more clearly. This is a bit of a grey area and has come up many many times in the past. In the end, I found it easier to do an assessment for everything. It doesnt take long and it only takes one inspector with a pole up their t...

Re: Maxmium occupancy of a public space
If i recall, there is also various guidance in the documents for dfferent types of place. I dont think there are difference for space capacity but there other restriction such as how many seats you can place together before you need a gap for evacuations and stuff of that nature. (sorry, no links at...

Re: Work Not Taking H&S Seriously Even After Accident
Hmm, its certainly hard to get companies to change when they dont want to listen. I've had the same as a consultant where I go back to clients time and time again and nothing improves> In our case we wouldnt threaten to drop them as clients and would drop them as clients if they didnt make changes. ...

Re: Work at height over work surface
Have you looked at a step platform ? It will have increased stability over a ladder/step ladder and will have a hand rail for support.
Geez, I just looked at the prices, so maybe not. Im sure I once saw a 3 step platform with hand rail for under £50 but now, ouch.

When does your health and safety go out the window?
We all criticise employees for breaking health and safety rules, but when do you do it yourself?? I can tell you right now that when it comes to moving house by yourself because moving services cost too much - manual handling becomes a dirty word. Looking forward to trying to get my bed and mattress...

Re: Renewable Utilities sector - Confined Spaces
I'm in utilities and work with confined spaces. What sort of confined spaces are you looking at? can you move around in the dark if the power goes out? are you walking/crawling in or are you having to climb in on ladders? how fast can you get out in an emergency? What are the hazards that could chan...

Re: Shared Customer and Delivery Car Park HSE
Can you create a physical seperation of routes taken by deliveries and customers? even if its just the final stages of the delivery? Make it a rule that drivers must back up to shutters. If you can set up an ensclosed area then the risk is minimised when backing in and even more so when pulling out ...

Re: Tablet v Computer
I think you will find it highly impracticle to do this. Tablets have their uses for sure, but e-mails, reports, switching between applications etc is not easy, not easy at all. If you are looking at health and safety reasons why this is bad you can try DSE but DSE came out before mobile phones and t...

Re: Housing Trust
Also, you told them "no smoking"? In their own flat? Not sure anyone is going to pay attention to that rule. Thats been pretty standard practice in rental properties for quite a while now. Im sure some people dont comply, but you can pick that up on inspections and it can breach their ten...
