Health and Safety Angels

Welcome to episode 30.

This week we go off on a tangent to expand on the management regs and we discuss something called the hierarchy of risk control. A method used to consider risk control from the most effective controls down to the least effective.

We couldn't resist a little chit chat at the beginning so be prepared for 30 mins of current issues before we get in to the nitty gritty.

So sit back, get comfy and enjoy the journey with us.

Welcome to episode 29!

After a run of special episodes, we are BACK! Continuing on with the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999, this episode is based on regulation 4.

We spend the entire episode discussing schedule 1 and the Principles of Prevention, so no chit chat, it's straight in. That's not to say there isn't the normal Daisy and Lynsey tangent conversations throughout but you have an entire hour of regulation 4.

Welcome to episode 27 where Lynsey meets Donna Williams from Dangerpoint in North Wales, a specialist safety education centre.

They have created an amazing safety adventure where children can visit a kitchen, a road crossing, a living room, a beach, a bus etc.... so that they can search these locations for hazards and learn how to keep safe.

The centre is open to schools in term time and families in school holidays, to help educate, from an early age, on safety at home and out in the world.

Visit their website on Home - DangerPoint for a virtual tour, info on upcoming events (especially as when this is released it is the summer holidays in the UK) and how to get in touch with them.

So sit back, get comfy and come on the journey with us.

This episode is brought to you to mark the 50th anniversary of The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. In the village of Aberfan, on 21st October 1966, a major disaster took place that was pivotal in the introduction of The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and then the associated regulations as time went on.

This tragic incident claimed the lives of 144 innocent people, 116 of those were children and continues to have an impact on the village of Aberfan.

These people will never know how they changed the entire nations lives forever and supported the creation of legislation that was created to protect us all from the impact of workplace incidents on our lives.

We bring you a 2 hour special episode to explain, in our words, what led to this disaster and the impact it had. This is a very emotional episode.

Welcome to this special episode where Daisy gets to interview Farmer Adam Petch and Health & Safety Manager Scott Pearson from Huntapac Ltd as they go in to Farm Safety week.

This week, the conversation is around the risks involved in the agricultural industry and the events that Huntapac will be holding to increase awareness around the hazards in the industry and to reinforce the importance of not only having risk controls but also the importance of using them.

We also discover that Daisy is growing her own carrots!! Not sure Huntapac need to worry about the competition though.

p.s. Lynsey is NOT an HSE Inspector - the recording seems to have cut a section where we discuss Lyns being a COVID inspector for the HSE during the pandemic!

This week we are bringing you the continuation of the management regs, moving on to parts 3,4,5 & 6 of regulation 3. We cut to the chase a little quicker this week!!

This episode features a break down of the legal requirement to review risk assessments, the increased focus on employment of young people and the duty of written risk assessments based on the number of people employed.

As always the discussion reaches topics that we float on to so be prepared to hear about hamsters, professionalism, words that make us giggle and one of us having a taste of dog chocolate!!

As always, get in touch with any questions, suggestions or just to chat.

Welcome to episode 21 where we start on a brand new regulation. This sees the beginning of us breaking the barriers on The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

This episode we start with regulation 3, sections 1 & 2 and there are going to be a number of episodes to follow as it's a MASSIVE regulation.

Please note, as per our normal chats, we getting carried away discussing H&S and cover some really interesting stuff!! but the regulation doesn't actually feature until 40 minutes in.
