If you're running a motor vehicle repair business, HSE may be visiting you soon to check you are protecting against isocyanate exposure.
Inspectors are checking that garages and body shops have effective controls, procedures, and health monitoring in place to protect workers from isocyanate exposure - the leading cause of occupational asthma in the UK.
Isocyanates are used in paints, coatings and lacquers, and can cause life-changing illness if controls aren't in place. Make sure your workplace is safe.
When an employee at a Berkshire engineering company sustained a significant workplace injury, the business needed help navigating the RIDDOR reporting process - and to ensure it prevented similar incidents in future.
Safewell's Health & Safety team worked with the business to investigate the accident, guide them through the reporting process, and help implement corrective actions, update risk assessments, and deliver refresher training.
The result? Full compliance, stronger safety procedures, and a more confident workforce.
For managers, team leaders and supervisors wanting to take a confident lead on health and safety, Safewell is now offering the IOSH Approved Managing Safely e-learning course.
The online, self-paced format makes it easy to fit training around busy schedules, while interactive modules cover essentials such as hazard identification, risk assessments, incident investigations, and compliance with safety regulations.

A flexible, cost-effective way to boost management skills and strengthen workplace safety.
