This Swindon manufacturing company recently appointed employee safety reps onto their company health and safety committee but were aware that they had no understanding of what being an employee safety rep involved. They contacted Safewell.
A RIDDOR accident occurred at an engineering company in Devizes. After an accident investigation it was identified that a sufficient health and safety policy was not in place and current risk assessments were also in need of updating and review.
An existing retained client of Safewell’s got in touch for additional health & safety support whilst moving to their new business premises as they were undergoing an expansion.
A retained Health & Safety client wanted to achieve CHAS accreditation to aid them in tendering for work and to help grow the company, with guidance and support from Safewell.
Safewell has been asked to ensure a school grounds team is suitably trained to use plant equipment, such as snow plough, digger, dumper or mobile scaffold tower.
