Health and Safety for Beginners Forums

Hello fellow beginners, It's been a while since I visited the forum, good to see you are still going strong. I'm off to sunnier climbs soon so there will soon be a QHS Manager job going in Dunfermline for a manufacturing company (not going to name them here because I don't want them inundated with a...

Morning folks,

Been a while due to lots and lots of commitments, I hope all is going well in HSFB world.

Most products offer a free trial, so you can fin...

Looks scissor liftable to me (with a roll out extension), or a boom lift. Rather than just change the faulty tubes, it might be worth moving (and perhaps upgrading to T5 or LED) the light fittings. Same thing for the Emergency light next to it, if you are upgrading the main fitting, then get the opt...
