An Inspector Calls

If you have never been visited by a Health & Safety Inspector and depending on the nature and level of risk in your workplace, many of you won't have been, that is not to say that you can forget about Health & Safety. Far from it, because you may well get a knock at the door one day.

There is a tendency to worry or be nervous about what might happen during a visit, but if you have been managing your Health & safety in the right way, there will be no need to be concerned, in fact HSE Inspectors are generally there to help and advise on the best way to do this.

A Health & Safety Inspectors primary aim is to ensure your workplace meets the required standards , to keep you and your employee's as well as the General Public safe.

The Health & Safety Law is enforced by HSE Inspectors or by Inspectors from the Local authority, they have the right to enter your workplace without giving notice at any time. The Inspector will want to look at the general workplace, the work activities carried out, your H&S Management systems and check your compliance with the Health & Safety Law.

They may offer guidance or advice in order to help you, your employees or your representatives, they can take samples, photographs and could serve you with Improvement notices if there are breaches of the HASAW Act or Regulations, they can also take Immediate action if there is a real risk to life or limb.

Fee for Intervention ( FFI )

As of 2012, if an Inspector identifies one or more material breaches of Law during their visit, the duty holder will be required to pay a Fee based on the amount of time the Inspector has spent Identifying the breach ( currently set at £124 an hour- per Hour )

Don't Ignore the value of refresher training

Every Year the media is filled with stories relating to workplace incidents, unfortunately it appears that a good number of these Industry related incidents are not a simple, unfortunate event, but are often a direct result of improper or the lack of adequate training.

The recession had a big impact on industry which in some cases resulted in budgetary cuts and training in particular may have suffered, refresher training is a small expenditure that cannot be disregarded without possible disastrous effects.

Investing in refresher training is beneficial for both employee and employer, for an employer the investment can help towards compliance with Legislation, as well as costs saving in wasted, damaged product, vehicles or machinery. The investment is minimal against the potential cost savings over the period.

For an employee it can ensure that their skills and abilities are kept at the required safe level and boost confidence which results in efficiency and high morale.

The message is clear that by not giving your workforce the periodic refresher training, you may be putting your workforce at risk as well as your business - Is it really worth the risk ?.

Safety Training southwest can provide you with the training you need at a cost effective price
