Hazards in the Workplace
There is a vast volume of information and resources on the web to assist employers and employees in ensuring the workplace is a safe place to be. The Health and Safety Executive has an excellent website (www.hse.gov.uk) that provides free documents to help plan your own campaigns. And Absolute Health and Safety Solutions have produced numerous articles that can help you address potential hazards in your work place.
Absolute Health & Safety Solutions have compiled this list of useful articles to help you plan your health & safety campaigns:
Slips Trips and Falls – How many times has someone slipped over on the wet reception floor, oil on the shop floor, debris on the stairs, or boxes in the passage way? www.hse.gov.uk/slips/index.htm
Better Backs – How many of your employees have reported in sick with back problems? www.businessinberkshire.co.uk/absolutehss/news7.html
Working at Height - Latest figures show that 46 people died and 3351 suffered serious injury as a result of a fall from height in the workplace. There is STILL much misconception of what is right and wrong. www.businessinberkshire.co.uk/absolutehss/news28.html
Vibration and Noise – Remember the days when it was cool to stand in discos and concerts and want the music louder? If your employees are using ipods, that’s like having their own private concert. www.businessinberkshire.co.uk/absolutehss/news23.html
Designing a New Workplace – Employers must ensure that new layouts are free from hazards and they must ensure that the designer is competent. All designers have a legal and moral obligation to design out hazards and ensure workplaces are safe.
