Many thanks Merlot for reporting that spammer. Really appreciate it!

I am just banning and deleting as we speak.

HI Safety, +1 for MyCompliance. We use it across 3 sites and 200 people in the waste industry. FIxed cost and easy to use, we use primarily the incident reporting and legal compliance sections. Get in touch with them and they will demo the system to you, they even set me up with a trial environment ...

Thanks everyone for their input, its much appreciated. So, after much research guided by Messy and QS we have formulated something that sits pretty close to the BS. All our existing lay flat fire hoses are going to be pressure tested to their max rated value and logged / tagged. New hoses will have ...

Thanks for that everyone, yes, its the layflat type we have in the bunkers along with the branches. Supply is from the towns mains with a maximum pressure of 6bar recorded so a test to 10bar would make sense. We have a good relationship with our fire extinguisher service engineer so will be picking ...

Hi everyone, Wonder if I can pick your brains regarding the periodic testing of layflat fire hoses? We have a number of fire points dotted around the site each contains 5 rolls of fire hose for use by our guys should a fire occur. This provision has been in place for a number of years however, this ...

Bear in mind that these are large scale barriers for erecting across relatively long distances (ours is in the region of 30meters) and I am not sure if they do smaller ones. Due to the long length, we would place ...

Hi all, result!, just received a call back from our local PHE office and the following is a paraphrased email they sent me. Public Health England are interested in a second case if it is within 14 days of the previous cases, defining a cluster. Capture2.JPG taken from here. https://www.gov.uk/govern...

Hi ddlh, yes, my assumption as well. As soon as a second case is diagnosed then a notification made however at what point is it defined as a second case? example; confirmed covid case 6 weeks ago. second case diagnosed yesterday. is this reportable? Given the guidance specifies isolation etc is 14 d...

Hi everybody, On the NHS test and trace service website https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-test-and-trace-workplace-guidance Capture.JPG they specify that more than 1 case of Covid in a workplace needs to be reported to the local health protection team. Now I dont have a problem with this but, for the ...
