Have you ever gone through the full process of risk assessment, starting with critical analysis outlining your justification and then got to the end of the process and said; nope not happening!?

Perfect, just as I suspected ......... and to add, I would say a moral responsibility to that as well

In short this is for Facilities Managers who have opted for NEBOSH in a previous life and wish to keep their knowledge / CPD up to date but do not necessarily use H&S on a daily basis 'as such' - it looks like I will be going down the internal training / refresher to address this properly, so th...

We all know the rule for 5 or more employees BUT ........ and here comes the possibly daft question!

Does this apply when you have 2 full time staff and then take on say 4 seasonal staff through the winter only?

If not and you work in or advise care services on matters health and safety, you should visit www.nashics.org to find...

What sort of Debris is it, loose insulation or dust from old sheeting? Could it be coat...

Long post alert: We have a live 24/7 residential property with asbestos debris within the roof void. The plan was to remove the debris but there is a projected cost of around £500k (the building is likely to be replaced within 8 or so years). The suggestion has been to seal the area off and move the...
