  • Tackling dust in the workplace

    Please note: this episode was recorded on 18 July 2022. All information was correct at time of recording.

    According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), there were 13,000 deaths last year linked to exposure at work, primarily from dust. It’s a huge health risk and causes real long-term damage, but - as is shown by the number of affected workers - clearly many employers aren’t effectively tackling the risks it presents.

    In this quick bitesize episode, Health & Safety Content Manager Michael Brown and Citation Health & Safety Advisor and air monitoring specialist Heather Dunning discuss the hazards dust presents in the workplace, common mistakes employers make and popular misconceptions, and how to tackle the hazards and make sure you’re compliant for an inspection.

  • Electrical safety inspections: your questions answered
    In light of Electrical Safety Week, our Engineering Team Leaders were invited onto The Citation Podcast to discuss the serious repercussions that employers could face if they don’t comply with electrical safety regulations.
    Please note: this episode was recorded on 24 November 2021. All information was correct at time of recording.
    This week, 22-28 November, marks Electrical Safety Week in the UK. This comes almost three years after a child was fatally injured at a local pub after becoming exposed to faulty wires on the outside of the premises.
    This lack of electrical safety on this premises went on to kickstart the campaign for the Harvey Tyrrell Bill which aims to crack down on electrical safety in pubs by making it a legal requirement for pub owners to get their electrical systems checked at least every five years.
    Local authorities will also be expected to carry out thorough inspections to make sure businesses are compliant and have their electrical training, documentation, and standard safety measures in place and up to date.
    In our latest episode, Citation’s Health & Safety Manager, Michael Brown, is joined by Gareth Dixon and Matthew Wellington, two Engineering Team Leaders from our sister company, Citation Fire & Electrical
    Join them as they discuss the importance of businesses ensuring their electrical safety measures are up to scratch and how a lack of understanding by business owners can put their employees and customers in danger. This includes:
    The Electrical Safety Regulations businesses are expected to comply with
    The qualifications and standards to look out for when hiring an engineer
    Common mistakes our clients make and the myths to look out for
    Understanding your electrical report results

  • Compulsory vaccinations in care: what’s next?
    Please note: this episode was recorded on 9 November 2021 and is accurate at the time of release. However, as this is an evolving topic, we recommend listeners seek specific advice on any individual cases.
    From 11 November 2021, all care home staff and anyone entering a care home in England (unless self-certified as exempt or medically exempt) must be fully vaccinated.
    This legislation has presented some significant challenges to employers ever since it was announced. Now, as we move into the next stage of this process - and with the self-exemption status period running until 23 December - it’s important to know what your next steps are as an employer.
    Join our host and Head of Employment Law, Gill McAteer, as she welcomes our Professional Support Leader, Emma McGrath, as they discuss:
    What the guidance means and the challenges which care businesses are now facing
    Exemptions from the regulations
    The temporary self-exemption period and what are the next steps for employers
    The implications of the regulations beyond the care sector
