Health and Safety for Beginners Forums

Hi Mick,

You need to submit one of the completed shades to a lab and have it tested to be sure. You cannot second guess the continued safety of a product once you have made material changes to it.

I think they ruled out a helicopter because of the down draught. The poor man was upside down and caught by his foot at the top of the ladder and they must have been worried they might dislodge him.

Hi Messy All good advice so far. You have to recognise the value of your own labour, don't be working for free. I can empathise, my department has been cut by more than 40% since 2010 but the workload isn't shrinking! Make sure you don't end up on the wrong end of GDPR with your plastic box storage....

What is pretty consistent or more likely than not, its the company pleads guilty to an offence, but it is often 3-5 years after the event. I'm sometimes left wondering if they plead not because of overwhelming evidence but through attrition and just wanting closure. The HSE will not, so far as I'm ...

Hi CAD, Please don't beat yourself up over this. You are disappointed, of course you are but you're not going to let it beat you, you're going to-re-group and crack it second time round. It sounds like your time management was fine and there are lots of good exam tips above. I might add that getting...

Some statute law includes civil sanctions which do not constitute a criminal offence, usually for environmental matters. See the Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008, for example.

Common law gets used for some criminal offences in England, murder and manslaughter being good examples. H&S criminal law is covered by statute.There are lots of civil cases which use statute law but if you're talking specifically about H&S, in relation to an injured person you'd be using co...

If you contact your local food hygiene team in the environmental health department they'll be able to give you some advice. You're right, there are hygiene as well as fire safety aspects to this.

Congratulations! My husband had pyloric stenosis and was operated on at 6 weeks of age, more than 60 years ago. He never had any trouble at all after his op so let's hope little Noah is the same x

Yep, you've got yourself a liar. I'd report him. Probably nothing will happen, but you've done your bit if it does. If he's coming back to your place I'd double-check any other paperwork he's given you.

Stephen,

I haven't heard anything about an employee threshold.

Have you read the guidance issue by the ICO?

Still a lot to wade through but at least it's straight from the horse's mouth, as it were.

Hi Rob,

Yes it will get better once you get used to the NEBOSH way of wording questions. NGC1 is a bit heavy going if you've never done any law before, NG2 and NG3 will be easier if you have more practical leanings. Lots of good resources and shared experience on here. Good luck with it.
