Laboratory Safety - Covering Issues such as Compressed Gases, Cryogenic Materials and Glassware, etc.

Laboratories can be dangerous places, with a vast array of potential hazards available to cause harm. This webinar considers harm may be caused, as well as how people and organizations can be protected from that harm by the appropriate use of Control Measures arrived at through the process of Risk Assessment.

Working with Chemicals: Hazards and Control Measures

A solid introduction to the hazards posed by chemicals and substances in the workplace and the ways in which these hazards may be controlled and managed. As chemicals are part of modern our lives we are likely to encounter them every day - from the chemicals used at work, to products used in the home such as paint, and detergents and pesticides used in the garden. These chemicals and substances may include cleaning materials, laboratory reagents, decorating materials, degreasers, process chemicals and substances that are generated by processes and operations (such as welding fume, wood dusts, silica dusts, etc).

Health And Safety: Controlling Contractors

Reliance on the use of contractors has increased dramatically over recent years in most employment sectors. Organizations are increasingly concentrating on core activities and operations and are taking on contract staff for chore activities. Many organizations, for example, make use of contract cleaning staff in place of their own cleaning operatives. Many organizations also take advantage of the increased flexibility with respect to labor that comes from the appropriate use of contract staff. Many seasonal activities, such as fruit picking have always relied on temporary labor. In recent years this trend has increased, with more and more organizations taking advantage of the increased flexibility from the use of contract or agency workers. This increased use of contract staff may present the organization's management with various challenges, but in most situations the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It is essential, however, that the health and safety implications of this increased use of contract staff are considered and appropriate controls implemented.

Warehouse Safety (Fork Lift Trucks, Manual Handling, Work at Height, Falling Objects, etc.)

Warehouses are dangerous places - with lots going on in them and lots of opportunity for serious injury and for fatal accidents. However, warehouse safety need not be difficult and this seminar will help you to understand how to do it properly. As many different types of businesses have storage and warehouse facilities as an integral and important part of their operation, warehouse safety is an important issue. These may be very busy places at all times (such as in a logistics operation) or they may be quiet for many hours a day, but have periods of intense activity. Warehouses can be dangerous places and people do get hurt in them in several ways. Many of the injuries suffered can be avoided by taking health and safety seriously and by taking some simple steps to ensure warehouse safety; all derived from simple risk assessments.

The Risk Assessment Process

A properly implemented program of risk assessments can assist in the prevention of injuries, fatalities, property damage incidents and other losses. This not only helps to prevent human loss and suffering, but also assists the effective management and finance of any business or organization. The process will also help to protect the organizations commercial reputation.
