A re-cap on Current Health & Safety Laws
Now that we are getting closer to the end of the year and 2013 is just around the corner; we thought it would be a good idea to briefly remind you of existing employment laws, as well as what the Government aims to execute in the year ahead.
The current situation
Health & Safety legislation is enforced by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), or by the local authority environmental health officers, depending on the main activity carried out at individual workplaces. The HSE is responsible for higher risk sectors whereas local authority officers are responsible for the more lower-risk sectors.
- Employers have a civil liability to their employees in the area of Health & Safety
and have a duty to take reasonable care for the Health & Safety of its employees; covering both physical and mental injuries.
- Employers also have a duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of its employees. This covers the maintenance of plant; systems of work; the arrangements for the use, handling, storage and transport of articles and substances; information and training and access routes.
- Employers with over 5 workers must have a written Health & safety Policy which must be made available to workers.
- Following the introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter Homicide Act 2007, employers can be found guilty of an offence if the way in which its activities are managed or organised causes a person’s death.
- Employees have a duty to look after themselves and take care to avoid injury to anyone else through their work activities.

Asbestos closes Welsh school until further notice
High levels of building materials containing asbestos have been found at a high school in Caerphilly. The 900 pupil school has now been closed until further notice after a structural report identified asbestos in the main block.
Not forgetting that Asbestos is the single greatest cause of work-related deaths in the UK; the report, made by Santia Asbestos Management Limited said asbestos in the roof void may have been blown around the building by the heating system, therefore it was inevitable that the closure of the school had to be taken to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the pupils and staff.
All workers who are liable to disturb asbestos during their normal work should be trained so that they can recognise asbestos containing materials and know what to do if they come across them.
It is essential that you provide your employees with the correct training. Asbestos is highly dangerous and potentially life threatening, don’t become a victim.
We have produced a white paper which will help you understand a little bit more about asbestos and its dangers.
In early 2013 Safety Media will be releasing a brand new Asbestos Awareness Training DVD - you can pre-order your copy or request an alert now to be sure you and your staff don't miss our on essential training and information.

Re-designed posters now available in 2 sizes
The Safety Media team have been hard at work re-designing our popular informational posters to reflect changes in legislation and give the range a more up dated look and feel.

Firstly the material that the poster's are printed on is a new, poly-carbon coated material which is durable, waterproof, tear resistant and ultra-long lasting. The posters come in a tube and this revolutionary material is designed so it becomes completely flat after just a few minutes of unrolling. It is suitable for framing or to be pinned or stuck straight up on your wall, either way it is sure to be eye catching and long lasting.
Secondly we are now offering these posters in 2 sizes - either A2 (£19) or A1 (£29). This means that your Safety message will fit in any space necessary.
There are more advances to come so watch this space but for now why not take advantage of our 3 for 2 offer and fill your walls with safety reminders to show your staff you care.

BSC Chief Exec speaks out about appalling Workplace injury statistics
"These Statistics should act as a constant reminder to all of us the sad reality of thousands of employees being injured, made ill and dying as a result of preventable workplace injuries."
This was part of a powerful statement released by Alexa Botha, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council.
She went on to say:
"We must continue to sustain the improvements made over the last ten years in preventing workplace injury and ill-health occurrences."
The statistics reveal that both the number and incidence of major and three-day injuries continue to fall as well as the number of work-related ill health cases. However with over 55,000 people in Wales still suffering from Work-Related Illness is this really a time for celebration?
We look further into the report in our full article.

Be safe not sorry this bonfire night
It’s that time of year again when we’re all getting ready to wrap up warm and enjoy a great fireworks display.
Although the night is supposed to be fun, it doesn’t come without its dangers.
Here are our Top 10 tips on staying safe this bonfire night…
1. Keep children away from fireworks
The powder inside a firework is flammable and toxic. Hide all fireworks and sparklers from children and only get
them out when you're ready to set them off.
2. Wear gloves
From holding fireworks to sparklers, gloves will protect the hands from stray sparks - Always wear gloves!
3. Bonfires
Never use flammable liquid to light a bonfire. Always locate the bonfire a considerable distance away from people
and buildings making sure the area is cordoned off.
4. Putting out fireworks and sparklers
Once the fireworks and sparklers have died out, put the excess material in a bucket of cold water to cool them
down before disposing of them. Always remember any small spark can set off a fire.
5. Keep pets inside
All pets are afraid of fireworks and can become unpredictable when frightened. Keep all pets inside away from
the noise.
6. Light fireworks far away from the audience
Pieces of firework which are still lit can fall quite a distance from where it has been lit and can be fatal. Make sure
fireworks are lit as far away as possible.
7. Keep warm
The nights are getting colder so wrap up warm.
8. Take a torch
If your car isn’t parked in a well-lit area it may be tricky to find it, take a torch with you so you're able to find your
way safely.
9. Keep anything flammable away from naked flames
Even perfume can set off a fire so be aware of keeping fire away from yourself.
10. Have fun!
There may be rules and regulations regarding firework displays but if these safety tips are followed, you're sure to
have a fun, safe night.
Remember, it is just as important to keep your employee's families safe as accidents at home can also mean time off at work.
Happy bonfire night!

HSE introduce Fee for Intervention Scheme
As of the 1st October 2012 the Health & Safety Executive have introduced fees when intervention as a result of inspections becomes necessary.
This is being termed as a "Cost Recovery Scheme" and as such allows the HSE to charge an hourly fee to put right any items which cause concern during an inspection or investigation.
This fee is currently set at £124 per hour and this can soon cost your company thousands once you look at travel, re-inspection, minor misdemeanors and other expenses which you may not consider...REMEMBER £124 IS AN HOURLY RATE NOT A MAXIMUM FEE.
Safety Media's range of training products will help you stay ahead of the inspectors and avoid a nasty invoice landing on your desk, whilst at the same time complying to your responsibilities as an employer.

Blowtorch blunder left family homeless
A housing society is examining whether a workman followed the correct Health & Safety procedures after he set fire to a row of terraced houses while fixing a leaking gutter with a blowtorch.
Whilst fixing a drainage system at a house in Bristol, the workman accidentally set the roof on fire, which quickly spread to the houses next door and sadly destroyed everything inside them.
The owner who had lived at the house for 19 years came home from a shopping trip to find that her house was badly damaged and her possessions destroyed.

Huge fall from grace for East Yorkshire Farmer
Last July a 20 year old farm worker suffered serious injuries after falling 4.5 meters through a roof light. The HSE investigated the incident and brought a prosecution against the farm owner as he had "failed to consider the significant risks involved of working at height." (HSE)
During the recent hearing the farm owner pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 9(2) of the Work at Height Regulations 2005, was fined £6,000 and ordered to pay a further £3,893.90 in costs.
After the hearing HSE Inspector Paul Estell commented:
"Falls from height kill more workers than anything else and is one of the most common causes of death in agriculture..."
Don't let you or your employees become part of one of these chilling reports. Follow the best practice procedures as set out by Safety Media's Working at Height DVD and cover yourself against harm.

WORK RELATED STRESS
Work related stress can be caused by a number of things. You might feel under pressure at work because of your work load, unable to cope with certain deadlines or it might even be the environment that you work in. Stress can cause psychological, emotional, physical and behavioural problems and can affect different people in different ways.
Did you know…
-
Stress affects 1 in 5 people of the working population and is the biggest cause of sickness in the UK.
-
Over 105 million working days are lost each year because of work related stress.
-
Nearly half a million people in the UK believe that they have work-related stress at a level that is making them feel ill.
We provide various stress awareness courses in both interactive and video formats, as well as a DVD course for both managers and employees. It is your duty as a manager to make sure that your employees are aware of these risks and make them aware by providing them with helpful tips on how to overcome stress.
