Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM2007) – your questions answered
Monday, May 24th, 2010If you are involved with any kind of non-domestic construction work then you are legally bound to comply with CDM2007. If it is a notifiable project then a CDM Co-ordinator and a Principal Contractor must be appointed for the work. Beyond legal compliance there is the high incidence of fatal and serious accidents on construction sites that the regulations are designed to address. Ignoring these statistics could result in expensive criminal investigations and prosecutions and do untold damage to your commercial reputation.

The key benefits of Outsourcing Health and Safety requirements
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010It is perfectly feasible to set up your own health and safety section and handle everything in-house, but can you be sure to have all the competencies needed to comply with the latest legislation, such as Asbestos Management, Contractor Management or the new Fire Reform Order. Do you have cover in case an accident occurs when key personnel are on holiday or off sick and do you have continuity for when key people move on? (more…)

Work of the Maintenance Department
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010Importance of Maintenance Work
An activity we have never previously covered but one in which people are exposed to just about every known hazard is that of Maintenance.
The trigger for producing this article is that the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work launched its latest campaign on 28th April 2010, targeting the issue of Safe Maintenance. Throughout 2010 and 2011, the aim is to raise awareness or the importance of high standards of maintenance, the risks to everyone if it is not done properly and the risks for those who carry it out.
We are currently witnessing on our TV screens a major tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico after the explosion of an off-shore oil rig platform being operated by BP. A number of workers lost their lives in the explosion and it seems that all the resources available to the US Government are being called in to control the aftermath.
Obviously it is too soon to know the full reasons for this explosion but it calls to mind a similar disaster in the UK’s North Sea Oil Field when the Piper Alpha platform exploded in 1988. This extreme example was put down to inadequate coordination of the maintenance process. If we allow standards to slip, we may appear to get away with it for a long time but eventually – as was the case with Piper Alpha – we get caught out and the consequences can be both tragic and disastrous.
Maintenance work, properly carried out, is an essential element of creating a safe working environment for all of us, though it is an aspect that many of us tend to overlook and take for granted. (more…)
From Sick Note to Fit Note
Thursday, March 25th, 2010Sickness Absence
Most employers at one time or another have people who are off work because of sickness or injury. In some cases, this may be the result of something that has happened whilst at work. Depending on the reason for the absence, the consequences for employees may range anywhere from minor inconvenience to major lifestyle changes.
Sickness absence also poses issue for the employer who needs to arrange cover for the absentee, which could mean employing temporary staff, training costs, overtime payments and a host of other inconveniences. (more…)
