Health and Safety for Beginners Forums

I would just ask you to please go to your GP anyway, even before you have another attack. I say this, because recently a very close family member, like yourself, saw the signs of potentially needing assistance from his GP and waited (as you mention doing). He is now in very slow recovery, but looki...

In terms of documenting it, depending on the risk assessment process you have probably already done it. Part of the role that I enjoy is the challenge of finding a safe way to achieve an objective. I tend to state that we do not currently have a safe method for doing something rather than an indefin...

Cheers Berni, This thread has been great in helping me realise how many others face challenges with mental health too and that can only encourage others to realise there is no shame in looking for support. I now massively admire those who face these challenges and that it is no different to a physic...

Right then..................... you lot asked for it lol! The last year for me has been an absolute nightmare.

Really good question this. I can't actually answer your exact query, but I will go off on a very slight tangent. When you had the LEV system installed did you spec a system that could cope with the stainless, alu, galv etc that you mention? If you did then you need to push back on the suppliers and ...

Afternoon all, I am slowly but surely getting back into the swing of logging on and having albeit a small one, some presence on the forum! A dull and chilly day here in Doncaster.

Update. I waited a month for the security manager to react and some kind of feedback but he said apparently didn't have time to read it... I've decided that there is no point to pursue HS career and let reports like that dissapear... So I've sent email to CEO at head office. After a week the manage...

Morning all,

Been a while since I've popped in here. Hope everyone is well, happy and prosperous today!

I attended an incident as the first aider and an individual had sustained internal injuries. The paramedics turned up and myself and the manager as well as the paramedics expressed our opinion that the casualty should go to hospital. Initially the casualty did not want to as they felt 'ok'. We manag...

Another problem is a lot of businesses fall between the requirements of needing a FAW and an EFAW, forcing them to take the longer, and more expensive, FAW where a good chunk of what they are taught (The illness and disease side) is not necessary. I still don't think it's made clear when which cour...

Thanks Alexis, am I accurate in saying this is the largest independent H&S forum on the planet? (I already know it's the best!)
