Musculoskeletal Disorders: Managing the Risk of Manual Handling and Display Screen Equipment for Workers on Site or Working From Home.22nd June 2022 at 10:30 |
|
|
The world of work is constantly changing and adapting but the pandemic has made adaption necessary for many organisations. In this new normal, organisations must remain mindful of MSD risks and take ongoing action to monitor and manage them. This strong focus on worker health and safety, in turn, benefits organisational performance. To help to inform employers, we are proud to announce a free webinar on how to effectively manage the risk of MSDs in your workplace and protect your home workers. This hour-long event will feature experts from HSE including HM Health and Safety Inspectors and our Principal Ergonomist to discuss current guidance and principles and give some practical examples of where the right, proportionate approach has worked well. We’ll be taking questions during the webinar and NEBOSH and TSO will join us to highlight official resources, products and services that can help you to identify and reduce risk of injury. |

How your PPE may lose its approved protective performance29th June 2022 at 10:30 |
|
|
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.

Hazards in Metalworking – Welding and Abrasives |
|
|
Welders and metalworkers are exposed to many hazards from welding fumes to hand-arm vibration and many more on a daily basis. Manufacturing processes will require operators to use welding equipment and abrasive tools for weld preparation, welding, weld refinement and finishing on different materials. These tasks expose them to many hazards such as respiratory, noise, injury and vibration. Recent innovations in abrasives and PPE can provide an increased level of protection that help mitigate risks. Health & Safety Managers have a critical part to play to ensure that welders and metalworkers follow safe procedures for the company in their manufacturing role. However, implementation of safe working practice can sometimes conflict with the production demands. Join 3M Application Engineer’s Paul Spooner (PPE) and Theo Simon (Abrasives) to understand how advancements in consumables can improve safety and increase productivity in the workplace. In this webinar they will be covering both welding and abrasive hazards and how the choice of PPE and abrasives can help mitigate risks to help ensure a safe and productive workplace. |

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) release statistics at the end of each year to track workplace-related illness, workplace injuries, the number of working days lost, what enforcement action is being taken and the associated costs. Work-related illnesses which have taken a long time to develop following past exposure to hazardous substances represent a significant number of these cases. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations are in place to ensure employers control hazardous substances both in the short and long term. Breaches in COSHH compliance can result in personal injury claims, fines by the HSE and loss of reputation to your business. In this webinar, we will reflect on the latest statistics and what lessons can be learned in how to mitigate risk through effective COSHH compliance, including:

Managing Risk: From Assessment to Control. Bringing your Risk Assessment to Life Effective risk management systems allow an organisation, large or small, to meet its legal requirements in protecting workers by not only identifying risk but putting in place measures to ensure adequate risk controls. Too often risk assessment becomes a tick-box exercise but it’s vitally important that the organisation is mindful of the risks that are identified and takes ongoing action to monitor and manage them. This strong focus on worker health and safety, in turn, benefits organisational performance. Supported by Health and Safety Matters magazine, the Health and Safety Executive are offering this free webinar to organisations looking to understand and control different types of risks in their workplaces. This webinar will feature a panel of experts from HSE including HM Health and Safety Inspectors, and NEBOSH who will discuss current guidance and principles in tackling risk.

Bridging the Gap between Fire & Emergency Lighting Systems |

Most non-domestic buildings must, by law, have both fire and emergency lighting systems. As public buildings and offices become increasingly complex, their life safety systems must keep pace. Whilst both fire systems and emergency lighting systems are essential to life safety, they are currently treated as separate entities with no communication between the two. This seminar will explain why integrating fire and emergency lighting systems offers greatly improved safety to a building’s occupants in an emergency. We will cover a range of topics including automatic addressable emergency lighting test systems, integration with fire systems, the ability to apply cause and effect to emergency lighting, and Dynamic Safety Sign Systems (DSSS). |

Welders are exposed to hazards from welding fume, radiation, spatter, sparks and many more. PPE and other controls can provide a level of protection that can help mitigate the risks to the welder. As part of the fabrication process welders may also need to use abrasives, for example - to prep the surface prior to welding or clean up areas after welding. These abrasives are used on power tools which by their very nature emit vibration during use.
