🔴 Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH), employers must assess and control workers' exposure to RCS

[Health and Safety Executive @H_S_E]

There’s been a lot of talk about silicosis and the dangers of engineered stone recently, here are the facts.

Inspections are underway to check that businesses are compliant with the ST3A guidance:

As an employer, make sure you ...

- discuss issues with workers

- listen to workers' concerns

- seek and share views and info

- discuss issues in good time

- consider what workers say before making decisions

🔵 Employee consultation on H&S is a valuable two-way process

Our product testing reveals a concerning and persistent pattern with non-registered suppliers: A significant proportion of the PPE sold by many in the UK does not meet regulatory requirements or perform as claimed.

Dangerous substances can cause severe health problems, safety risks, explosion & suffocation and substantial costs to a business for protective measures and liability

🔵 Remove them from your workplace processes completely if you can

Substitute them for safer ones if you can't

There’s been an incident…

Blame culture asks “Who made the mistake?”

Learning culture asks, “What conditions created this outcome?”

That's the difference.

[BSIF @BSIF1]

Fit testing is required to check that a tight-fitting facepiece matches the wearer's facial features and seals adequately to the face

🟣 It is a legal requirement that workers using tight-fitting RPE are fit tested by a competent person

🔴 Filtering respirators are not suitable for spraying isocyanate paints

[Health and Safety Executive @H_S_E]

Our isocyanate inspections show RPE failures are the most common theme across bodyshops – wrong masks, poor fit, damage, and inconsistent use.

Filtering respirators won't protect against isocyanates. Air-fed RPE is required.

Poor work organisation and working in awkward postures contribute to the development of MSDs, eg:

🔵 Poor schedules

🔵 High workload/time pressures

🔵 High work speed/intensity

🔵 Lack of control over work & breaks

🔵 Inadequate training

Are these assessed in your business?

[David Cant @davidgcant]

The supervisor who stops the job when something feels wrong is worth more to you than the one who always hits their numbers, learn to value them that way.

[BSIF @BSIF1]

PPE is sometimes undervalued, yet it can mean the difference between life and death, safety and injury, long-term health and preventable harm

We urge organisations to take great care and involve workers when selecting safety-critical products

Noise at work can be damaging even if it doesn’t hurt your ears.

Hearing loss from noise is slow, silent, and permanent.

If you employ young people under the age of 18, you have the same responsibilities for their health, safety and welfare as you do for other workers, whether they are:

🔵 a worker

🔵 on work experience

🔵 an apprentice

Take care of their health, safety and welfare at work

🔵 Non-disposable respirators must be properly maintained

Have you implemented a robust process in your workplace for the maintenance of non-disposable respirators?

Do you check regularly that the required maintenance is being done properly?

Stop measuring safety by what didn’t happen. That’s like rating a restaurant by the number of people who didn’t get food poisoning.
