Health and Safety for Beginners Forums

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...

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. ...

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.

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

What you are doing doesn't sound like a Fire Risk Assessment to me, more of a safety advice list. For smoke detectors, you dont need them in every room. You only need one per level and as these are bungalows, thats just a single level. Of course, you can have more, thats not a problem, but in a kitc...

DOn't know if this applied to public car parks but this is for automated garage doors... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjGzYfR7rmEAxXEXUEAHQ7JATwQFnoECA4QAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dhfonline.org.uk%2Fdownloads%2Fdownload-file-docum...

When I conducted audits I looked at: Risk Assessments / Coshh - Has a fire risk assessment been carried out. - Is there a system in place for completing actions highlighted in the risk assessment or from other inspections / audits - Are flammable and explosive materials properly stored with correct ...
