I am a Health and Safety manager for a medium size construction company. I have produced a report for the director evaluating their current health and safety policy. I have analysed two video clips used for training purposes. I will identify breaches in legislation and show what actions would be needed in order to conform to current legislation. I will give my own professional opinion on current legislation and explain how it is managed on a construction site.
“Every year many construction site workers are killed or injured as a result of their work; others suffer ill health, such as musculoskeletal disorders, dermatitis or asbestosis. The hazards are not, however, restricted to those working on sites. Children and other members of the public are also killed or injured because construction activities have not been adequately controlled.”

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. INTRODUCTION
The Health and Safety Commission and its operating
arm, the Executive (HSC/E), have spent the last twenty
years modernizing the structure of health and safety law.
Their aims are to protect the health, safety and welfare
of employees, and to safeguard others, principally the
public, who may be exposed to risks from industrial
activity.
Whether you are carrying out an inspection as a safety
technician, manager or supervisor in a large office
complex, factory or a small work shop, there are many
duties and responsibilities that are common to all places
of work.
3. GENERAL DUTIES
The provision and maintenance of plant and systems of work
that are safe and without risks to health
Arrangements for ensuring the safety and absence of health
risks in connection with the use, handling, storage and transport
of articles and substances
Provide such information, instruction, training and supervision as
is necessary to ensure the health and safety at workplaces
under the employer's control
Ensure that work places, plant and processes are safe and
without risk to health
Provide and maintain safe means of access and egress (entry,
exit and escape) from premises and work areas.
Provide and maintain a working environment for employees that
is safe, without risks to health and adequate as regards facilities
and arrangements for their welfare at work. This includes
transport, store , handle and use materials in a safe manner.
4. Produce and distribute a statement of safety
policy and its implementation to all
employees.
Consult with employees' representatives on
matters related to health and safety and
establish safety committees if sought by
representatives. Such consultation is guided
by published codes of practice.
Ensure that those who are not employed are
informed of safety and hazards for when they
work or are present on employer premises
and use equipment and materials.
5. Regulations
The regulations apply to most work
activities. They up-date and extend
existing UK health and safety law (1974
Act) and impact on employer duties in
relation to employees and others
affected by work activity. They also
affect the self- employed obligation to
protect themselves and others. They
cover European Union (EU) Article
118A directives on health and safety at
work in relation to:

7. Risk Assessment
Employers must assess the risks to the
health and safety of employees and
anyone else affected by the work activity.
necessary preventive and protective
measures must be identified.
employers with five or more staff must
record the findings of risk audits and how
plans and controls are implemented.
8. An employer need not duplicate assessment
work. Assessments done e.g. for compliance
with COSHH are likely to contribute to servicing
the management regulations.
Employers must devise and implement
arrangements for putting measures (plans,
organizational arrangements, control systems,
monitoring and review methods etc) that follow
from risk assessment, into practice.
9. This includes
emergency procedures
co-operating with other employers sharing a work site
providing employees with clear, understandable information
about H&S matters, ensure they have adequate H&S training
and are capable enough at their jobs to avoid risks
temporary workers must be provided with particular H&S
information to meet special needs.
If a risk audit identifies health needs, then employers
must provide appropriate health surveillance for
employees, e.g. Shift workers
When developing and applying measures needed for
compliance, employers must appoint competent people
(internal or external)
10. Inspections of the work place should be
carried out on a regular basis, The
inspection should be carried out
Systematically and methodically and be an
opportunity to;
educate,
inform and
to change attitudes
as well as checking that you have done
enough to comply with the your duties under
relevant Statutory provisions.
11. Inspections can be split up into areas of
responsibility or different functional areas i.e.
EXTERNAL, car parking, loading areas.
INTERNAL, house keeping, welfare.
WORK AREAS, cleanliness, ergonomics,
MACHINERY, cleaning, maintenance (electrical and mechanical).
OFFICES cleanliness, ergonomics of work stations
PROCEEDURES, risk assessments, supervision, training and
information.
12. There will not only be differences in the
approach to meeting the duties placed on
different organisations but also financial
considerations.
A safe and healthy working environment
promotes motivation and productivity
An unsafe, dirty, poorly equipped or maintained
working environment tends to be a miserable
place to work.

purposes and gives examples typical or
characteristic of a small to medium sized

The Environmental Protection Act 1990
To prevent the pollution from emissions to
air, land or water from scheduled processes
the concept of integrated pollution control
has been introduced.
Authorisation to operate the relevant
processes must be obtained from the
enforcing authority which, for the more
heavily polluting industries, is HM
Inspectorate of Pollution.
Control of pollution to air from the less
heavily polluting processes is through the
local authority.
54. Regulations also place a 'duty of care'
on all those involved in the
management of waste, be it collecting,
disposing or treating Controlled Waste
which is subject to licensing.
55. In addition to extending the Clean Air Acts by
including new measures to control nuisances, the
Regulations introduce litter control;
amend the Radioactive Substances Act 1960;
regulate genetically modified organisms;
regulate the import and export of waste;
regulate the supply, storage and use of polluting
substances and allow the setting up of contaminated
land registers by the local authority.
In 1991 the Water Act 1989 that controlled the
pollution and supply of water was replaced by five
separate Acts.
