A System to manage Contractor/Sub-Contractor from HSE perspective start from contractor selection until contract end to achieve health and safe working environment
This is the brief manual for Risk Assessments (HIRA – Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) to guide through significant and benefits of HIRA. This is an important step to ensure OSHA compliance. It helps in identification of risks and creation of exercises, training programs, and plans based on the most likely scenarios.

Charles Gould at Learning Live 2014: Total learning: learn faster, work smart...Brightwave Group
Total learning: learn faster, work smarter with four systems in one
We know that up to 90% of learning takes place outside formal training or e-learning, with the majority of learning coming from casual interactions with our colleagues and peers, or from purely informal, self-directed learning. But the learning industry is still struggling to develop innovative systems that integrate with how people learn today.
In this session Charles explores how a 'total learning' approach meets not only the needs of today's learners, but, crucially, how it can deliver real value for forward-thinking organisations. Charles demonstrates how Brightwave's total learning system – tessello – provides an environment that allows L&D teams to improve productivity, generate value and transform their position in the business.
The session explores:
● How technology that uses the Tin Can API delivers an enhanced learning environment – putting learners in control of their own learning and allowing them to record a wide range of online and offline learning (including informal) experiences
● How informal and social learning works alongside formal learning resources – without the need for a separate platform
● How powerful analytics provide rich insight into how learning is being experienced and applied – helping organisations make informed decisions to improve learning and ensuring it remains relevant and business focussed
● How to keep your best people engaged and in the organisation – providing learners with an environment that allows them to find information they need and when they need it, as well as connecting them to other experts across organisational silos, boosting engagement and so reducing staff attrition
● How improving the performance of your people, by helping them learn faster and smarter, boosts the performance of the organisation.
For more information on the Learning Live event, please visit: http://thelpiservices.com/conference/.
As well as challenging the value of formal, structured learning, L&D is starting to think more about how informal learning, relationships and performance support can be enabled for the benefit of their learners and their organisation.
From community management and the trends impacting the workplace of tomorrow, a Total Learning approach harnesses these opportunities and makes for an exciting future for technology-enabled learning.
The session featured a lively panel discussion where four experts share their views on key learning topics:
●Managing learner expectations.
● How will the necessary shift from 'course to resource' change the role of L&D?
● The opportunity to facilitate informal learning for career and professional development.
● New technologies and emerging trends.

About this session
Over the years Brightwave has helped many world-leading organisations tackle business challenges with e-learning. In many cases, this has taken the form of courses, the formats of which are familiar to most of us. Yet our approach to e-learning has evolved.
While the core imperatives may have remained the same (a business need, a specific audience, measurable change in behaviour and a clear message/content), the tools and resources available to our designers are proliferating. The role of the learning designer has become more complex, more wide-reaching and arguably more valuable. In this session, Charles will draw from recent experience at Brightwave, including the latest thinking from its design team to address some very current questions.
Is the course really dead? When might it still be appropriate?
How do we meet organisational needs while exploiting less formal learning?
What resources and tools are being harnessed to replace or supplement the course?
How do we enhance learning using communications, social media and mobile technology?
What new opportunities do learning designers have and how should they use them?
In what direction are organisations moving if they are moving beyond the course?

OHSAS 18001 + ISO 14001 – Implementation MethodsPECB
The essential difference between ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 is that ISO 14001 focuses on managing your organization's impact on the external environment, while OHSAS 18001 focuses on managing your organization's internal environment to ensure a safe and healthy workplace. OHSAS 18001 was intentionally developed to be compatible with ISO 14001, for easier integration of quality, environmental and occupational health & safety management systems by organizations. This webinar provides you with the needed information when you want to combine these standards.
Main points covered:
• ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 History
• ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 Compare Clause
• Steps that should be implemented
• Risk Assessment

This webinar was presented by Shahriyar Majlesein, PECB Certified Trainer and Executive Director/Operation Manager at SMEC Engineering Group.

WHAT? Within our industry the personal health effects of noise and vibration are well known and should now be embedded in your Company Health and safety arrangements. Construction industry is one of the leading sources of noise complaints made to Local Authorities. Something is considered ‘noisy’ when the sound is unwanted by the listener. Noise and vibration emissions can disturb local residents and give rise to complaints and delays.
Silo explodes at ready-mix plant...The top (cap) of the silo was thrown into the air, across a road, landing in an adjacent property. Fortunately, no injuries occurred as a result of this incident.
Dust and emissions, such as the recent publicity in the national press relating to the health hazards of particulates in diesel powered vehicles exhaust emissions, can cause health risks and odours at high concentrations may annoy neighbours and those affected by our activities.
Oxygen is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas and makes up to 21% of the air we breathe, it has a relative density of 1.1 which means it is slightly heavier than air.
Oils, greases, solvents and PTFE tape may react violently with oxygen. You should never use oil or grease to lubricate oxygen or oxygen enriched equipment as they can spontaneously burn with explosive violence.
Lifting and rigging operations are some of the most hazardous activities we regularly undertake, day in day out. The consequences of something going wrong during a lifting or rigging operation can literally be fatal.
TOOLBOX TALK | safe use of lift trucks and telehandlersAlan Bassett
Lift trucks are widely used throughout industry for moving materials and goods, but they also feature prominently in workplace accidents. Even an incident not causing injury may result in costly damage to lift trucks, buildings, fittings and the goods being handled.
Last year in the UK 40 people died and nearly 43,000 reported non fatal injuries as a result of a fall from height in the workplace. Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury and the second most common cause of major injury to employees, accounting for around 15% of all such injuries...
During December the monthly average number of fires, injuries and fatalities more than doubles in households across the UK.

Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes

Definition(s)
• The ability to perform the activities within an occupation or function
to the standard expected in employment. (HSL)
• “Competence” means the ability to undertake responsibilities and
perform activities to a relevant standard, as necessary to ensure
process safety and prevent major accidents. Competence is a
combination of knowledge, skills and experience and requires a
willingness and reliability that work activities will be undertaken in
accordance with agreed standards, rules and procedures (HID,
HSE).
• “Competence is the ability for every director, manager and worker to
recognise the risks in operational activities and then apply the right
measures to control and manage those risks”. (Judith Hackitt HSE
Chair).
