This months newsletter covers some of the key health and safety topics affecting businesses and their workforce.

We start with a reminder of the range of health and safety training courses we can provide, including training tailored to your industry, workplace and activities.

This month, we also look at human factors and HSE’s HSG48 guidance, exploring why understanding how people behave at work is an important part of effective safety management.

We cover workplace accidents and near misses, including the importance of reporting, investigating and learning from incidents and understanding when RIDDOR may apply.

Finally, we focus on noise in the workplace – the potential impact on employees’ hearing, controlling exposure and ensuring the right hearing protection is selected.

Alongside our usual round-up of recent HSE news and prosecutions, the newsletter provides practical reminders to help businesses review and strengthen their health and safety arrangements.

If you need support with any of the topics covered, please get in touch with the team at H&B Safety Consultancy Ltd – we’re always happy to help.
