HSE and Tamar Foods to highlight health and safety to contractors
April 24, 2008
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), along with Tamar Foods, is looking to raise health and safety awareness by holding a seminar on April 30th.
Aimed at contractors from across the south-west, the event will occur at Duchy College, Cornwall, and will look to persuade businesses to stress the importance of health and safety to their suppliers.
The seminar is the joint project of the HSE's partnership officer, Glenda Treneary, and the safety and environment manager of Tamar Foods and Ginsters, Karl Avery's 'stakeholder project'.
Included in the agenda will be discussions on 'electrical safety', 'working at height' and 'risk management', with an attendance of around 60 companies expected.
Speakers from the HSE and industry figures will lead the seminar, which will be the third in 18 months and the executive is hoping to extend its stakeholder project to other businesses in the future.
The HSE issued a warning earlier this month, stressing vigilance when dealing with electrical cables, following two workmen suffering burns after a cable exploded.
