Interoperability and Compatibility: Have You Considered Your PPE? |
|
|
Interoperability and compatibility are crucial factors to consider when it comes to Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). The effectiveness of PPE relies on the ability of multiple items to work together without compromising the wearer's protection throughout their entire shift. In various workplaces, the need to wear multiple PPE items, such as hard hats, ear defenders, protective eyewear, and respirators, is common. However, using incompatible PPE can lead to reduced protection or even no protection at all. To ensure optimal safety, it is essential to select and wear compatible PPE that does not compromise the effectiveness of other items. In this informative webinar, Tracey Winspear, 3M Application Engineer Specialist in Powered and Supplied Air, will provide valuable insights into the legal requirements, risks associated with incompatible PPE, considerations for product selection, and the importance of fit testing requirements for respiratory, hearing, and eyewear protection. By understanding the benefits of PPE compatibility, you can enhance workplace safety and protect your employees effectively. |

Can we make Knife Cut injuries a thing of the past? |
|
|
Knives and Blades have been used in workplaces almost since the dawn of time, and we challenge you to try and complete your working week without using a blade or scissors to complete even the most basic tasks… it would be impossible right?! So having established that we can’t be without knives, scissors, and blades in our workplace we must also consider the other (rather obvious) side of the coin. Knives and blades when used incorrectly can cause very serious injuries or cause damage to the goods and products we produce. Often companies try to protect against this by increasingly higher levels and standards of PPE, and whilst this may mitigate some of the injuries it is not the full solution needed. So what is the solution? What is the cost of knife injuries in your workplace? How does it affect productivity for you and your colleagues? Why not find out how you can improve your safety knife policy? In this webinar, Thomas Turner and Ian Suggitt will walk us through their tried and tested process of how to improve knife safety and go through some of their recent successes and case studies in companies in sectors ranging from food & beverage to distribution and manufacturing. They will also take the time to answer any questions you may have about your workplace knife usage in their latest webinar with HSM. |

The duty to protect and the role of the health and safety professional |
|
|
Since 2017, the UK has experienced several terrorist attacks and it is suggested that a further 37 plots have been prevented. There has been a significant diversification of the threat in the UK in recent years, with low sophistication attacks becoming more prevalent. The UK Government’s proposed Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill — better known as Martyn’s Law — was recently released in its draft form for official parliamentary scrutiny ahead of its formal introduction, likely in 2024. The legislation will require “qualifying public premises” with a capacity of more than 100 people, including premises used for activities such as entertainment, leisure, hospitality, health care and education, to implement security measures aimed at keeping the public safe and reducing the impact of terrorist attacks when they do occur. If enacted, these legal duties and obligations will have a significant impact on businesses and their H&S/security advisors across the spectrum of industry sectors, with each having to face both common and unique challenges. Our session will cover the detail of the draft Bill, the latest news on its passage through Westminster. We will also look at how the health and safety professional might become involved and what implementation of the proposed new measures might look like in practice. |

As the concept of ESG has matured, the relative focus between the three elements (Environmental, Social and Governance) has shifted, with environmental impacts and measures coming to the fore. There is now a push for more priority to be given to the social aspects, such as people and their health, safety, and wellbeing. When you consider that the ILO* estimates that 2.3 million people succumb to work related accidents or diseases every year, you can understand why. Many companies’ global ESG priorities have evolved and now include social justice and the future of work alongside zero carbon commitments. This shift, combined with the recent ILO declaration that a safe and healthy work environment is a fundamental human right, has meant we have started to see the balance being redressed. These developments create more opportunities for EHS leaders to demonstrate the contributions our profession can make to ESG. This webinar will explore the links between ESG, Sustainability, People and their health, safety, and well-being, and will highlight how you can influence the future in your business through People Sustainability within the larger Sustainability and ESG agendas.’ |

A Resilient Supply Chain starts with Managing Contractor Risk |

According to a recent survey by BDO, 84% of enterprise-level CFOs named supply chain disruption as their biggest business risk, with talent shortage as the second (79%). EHS leaders play an increasingly larger role in addressing risks for 3rd party companies and addressing resilience of the supply chain. In fact, 95% of EHS leaders have full ownership or some decision-making authority for defining supply chain and contractor management strategies across the organisation. * Doing the right thing is just good business. To protect people, business and brand effectively, EHS leaders will need to partner closer with other parts of the business and account for an influx of contractor risk in their operations. At the same time, EHS leaders must address a broader spectrum of risks and contend with more complex legislation that extends well beyond traditional safety practices. |

How your PPE may lose its approved protective performance |
|
|
In many industrial workplaces, to protect workers against multiple hazards, there is often a requirement to wear more than one type of personal protective equipment (PPE). Each piece of PPE will be CE/UKCA marked and fully approved according to the relevant standards. But... when combined, does the PPE fully deliver its expected protection level? Is the user aware that the certified protective performance of one item of PPE could be compromised by another? |

Protecting large premises from fire |
|
|
This webinar will explain the key benefits of protecting large premises with optical beam smoke detection. These premises can include warehouses, factories, or buildings with high ceilings. In this session, you will learn how to use optical beam smoke detection to protect open spaces such as warehouses and factories and we explain how using optical beam smoke detection can save money and reduce false alarms in locations with high ceilings where point detectors would be difficult to install and maintain. We will cover the pros and cons of other beam smoke detectors, the benefits of installing a low-level controller and when should you use and not use point, aspirating or beam smoke detection equipment. Optical beam smoke detection is a device that uses a projected beam of light to detect smoke across large areas, typically as an indicator of fire. They are used to detect fires in buildings where standard point smoke detectors would either be uneconomical or restricted for use by the height of the building. The Hub is unique as it gives you complete flexibility to connect 3 different detectors in any configuration so you can now chose the system settings to suit your environment. |

New Connectivity Technologies Solving Gas Detection Challenges |
|
|
We live in a connected world. Connectivity creates smarter people, smarter homes, and smarter workflows. But this connectivity does not exist as much in the workplace, where safety should be a priority. A high number of workplace injuries and related costs remain virtually unchanged, year over year. With the millions of workplace injuries each year and countless lost hours of productivity, safety teams need advanced technology tools that can help address their safety challenges and move towards safer worker environments and behaviors. But PPE hasn’t traditionally incorporated a technology component in a way that helps to solve many of these problems, this includes gas detectors. While gas detection is an important part of any safety program playing a fundamental role in helping to keep workers and worksites safe, managing a gas detection program presents many challenges. The good news is that new technologies in gas detection helps to build connections between WORKERS, WORKSITES and WORKFLOWS – to create an adaptive safety program now and into the future.
