H & S info and stats etc.....

[Lorry thompson]

We are a recent set up and my brother has the lovely job of being our health and safety man basically cos he's been on a h & s course and has the certificate I'm just wondering if any of you lads know of the best places/sites where we can get good info and keep up to date on new regulations/gear and accidents and accident statistics. We want to keep up to date with this side of things and any good advice is very welcome

They are hard to get, I even tried off our regional HSE man, and got the answer 'they are on the site but hard to find'!

[Lorry thompson]

I know had a look about but it's hard to find we just want to keep these records and look as though we are doing our bit along with all the maintenance records etc

[Mesterh]

I found some ages ago on a web site, if I find them again I'll let you know.

Keep your Loler, Puwer records and Accident book not much else you can do

[Lorry thompson]

[common lime]

[Borders Training]

[Lorry thompson]

Been onthere too mate cheers I used to work for a big firm and they used to get posts through of recent accidents etc new regs for maintenance changes in torque settings on chipper blades etc suppose them big firms can afford to pay someone to research this stuff we probably doing enough anyway just the more advice we get the better cheers lads

Lorry, recent HSE regs state that hoying 25 ton of massive rings onto the back of your truck without sleeves on your t-shirt is out of order!

 

Seriously mate, I'm impressed that you and Simon are not afraid of being up to date with the kind of stuff that can save lives. Some of my nine have run out.

 

Nice one.
