RIDDOR changes

2012-01-17T15:06:00.002Z

REPORTING OF INJURIES, DISEASES AND DANGEROUS OCCURRENCES REGULATIONS 1995 (RIDDOR)

CHANGE – 6 APRIL 2012

From 6 April 2012, subject to Parliamentary approval, RIDDOR’s over three day injury reporting requirement will change. From then the trigger point will increase from over three days’ to over seven days’ incapacitation (not counting the day on which the accident happened).

Incapacitation means that the worker is absent or is unable to do work that they would reasonably be expected to do as part of their normal work.

Employers and others with responsibilities under RIDDOR must still keep a record of all over three day injuries – if the employer has to keep an accident book, then this record will be enough.

The deadline by which the over seven day injury must be reported will increase to 15 days from the day of the accident.

New guidance that explains the change will be available to download from the HSE website on 16 January 2012.

British Heart Foundation School's Life Support campaign

2011-12-20T18:45:00.000Z

The British Heart Foundation are campaigning to drive CPR into school curriculums as statutory so that children all leave school with Emergency Life Support skills. Knowing how to stop bleeding, open an airway or perform CPR should be considered as important as knowing your times tables. The British Heart Foundation want to create a new generation of life savers across the UK by ensuring that emergency life support skills (ELS) are taught in all schools and communities. So please sign the petition now... http://campaigning.bhf.org.uk/ea-campaign/clientcampaign.do?ea.client.id=57&ea.campaign.id=9432&ea.tracking.id=7296e6f9

Health and Safety for Beginners an excellent website for information and a active forum - recommended.

I've started.

2011-12-08T20:57:00.000Z

Well I've taken the plunge and started a blog to record what interests me. Mainly from the business point of view. So I will record here things of interest in health and safety, first aid, lifeguarding, teacher training etc. My website is a good starting point for course information and a lot more. I also have a strong interest in the Costa Blanca, Spain so may even put some stuff on that as I have some property for rent there.
