Re: Looking for help to get up to speed/safety cultures

Re: Installing machinery

Could you give me some more details about your 'install'. What role does your company play in the chain? Are you supplying and installing, or installing and operating, or just merely installing the equipment for the business that will be operating it? Also what type of machinery is it? I'll help out...

Re: DSEAR courses?

Try DSEAR with a Bang by Dangerous Substance Control (DCS). We are a 5000+ employer and in developing our policy we use Roy from here. He's brilliant and very accommodating. The course is a day long and mainly shows you the properties of dangerous substances and the effect and consequences. It doesn...

Re: Pressure system permit to work

No pressure system permit to work to give you as we cover it with the general PTW. What work is being undertaken? Have a RA and SWP which will identify the mitigating measure to control the remaining risk, however Isolation is key here (As you mention pressure systems). I'm assuming there is a relev...

Re: Dust Mask Ad Hoc

As above, your natural defences should be able to block out all inhalable dirt particles. I'd be surprised with the exposure if there is anything respirable.

Re: Spray workshop

I cannot recommend a supplier but what kind of training are you looking for? Training that has information about the H&S aspects of working in a spray booth with regards to DSEAR and ATEX and build up of material etc..?

Re: Are generic risk assessments ok?

They do have their place but if you're doing them make them as a minimum standard. Identify the general hazards and apply the minimum controls you want the team to have in place. Then place the duty on the manager to then adopt and add their controls which will be relevant to the task. Place an obje...

Re: More Frustration

Re: Welding COSHH Assessments

The seats are in a daft position and force the operatives to lean forward to see out of the window while using he controls. This will, in the long term give them massi...
