"Recent research from the HSE (1) confirms QBE’s long held view that the burden of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) to employers is significant, with the highest cost relating to time lost from work. It is no coincidence that financial losses associated with extended lost time often make up the largest component of high-value personal injury claims, offering a component of the business case and a logical rationale for promoting proactive rehabilitation and absence management. We acknowledge the vital importance of ensuring early and appropriate intervention for those who experience MSDs, particularly where this has the potential to
escalate into extended absence. In meeting this objective, the role of the case manager is pivotal in liaising between affected individuals and
the organisation to facilitate a successful return to work – a point echoed within the HSE report.

"The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, the basis of health & safety law in this country, sets out employer’s duties to its employees and members of the general public and the duties that employees have to themselves and each other. Remember that the law states that a motor vehicle is a place of work. The Road Safety Bill contains a number of measures aimed at helping to improve safety on the roads of Great Britain and to help achieve targets for the reduction of casualty frequency and in particular revisions to the law relative to the use of mobile phones which is covered under the “Drivers” section of this document. A general introduction has been produced explaining how the new offence of corporate manslaughter/homicide works and where it will apply. It is intended to provide fundamental information to employers, senior managers and others seeking an overview of the new legislation.

It is estimated that in up to 80% of work related accidents the employee’s behaviour or their acts or omissions is a contributing factor. HSE research1 concluded that proprietary and in-house behavioural safety processes improve
safety when implemented effectively. One study reported an 85% improvement in accident rates. Successful behavioural safety programmes require senior management commitment, suitable resources and effective planning to ensure they fit in with your organisation’s culture and
health and safety management system.
QBE supports clients who decide to implement behavioural safety processes and this Issues Forum discusses the key elements of successful behavioural safety programmes, with practical advice on how to implement one and the pitfalls to avoid.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Work Related Dermatitis Qeb Standards 11
1. Work Related Dermatitis
Occupational skin disease may result from exposure to physical, chemical or biological agents.
Work related dermatitis accounts for about 70% of occupational disease. Conditions can be
particularly serious where there is exposure to skin sensitisers or where the body evokes a severe
immunological/allergic response when contact occurs. Civil claims can be particularly expensive
where the affected individual can no longer work in the vicinity of the agent in question. The main
source of employees' exposure will come from chemical agents although conditions can result
from other sources e.g. extremes of temperature and humidity and as a secondary effect of stress.
MINIMUM STANDARDS
1. Processes and tasks involving potential harmful exposure to substances and agents are
subject to a risk assessment identifying hazards associated with the substance/agent used or
generated, determining whether existing control measures are sufficient and identifying any
additional control strategies required.
2. A hierarchical and 'risk based' approach is adopted to reduce the risk of exposure to harmful
agents i.e. elimination, substitution, change of work method, containment and engineering
controls. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used as a last resort.
3. Where required PPE selection takes into account the protection offered by the material,
suitability to working environment, comfort, compatibility and wearer acceptability.
4. Natural Rubber Latex gloves should be avoided where effective alternatives are available.
Where required, gloves should be low protein / powder free, and all reasonable steps should
be taken to identify and control any wearer allergies or susceptibilities.
5. Barrier creams are used as a last resort where a high level of dexterity is required and the risk
from the hazardous material is low. Antiseptic hand creams are used post exposure as part of
a good hygiene regime.
6. Pre-employment procedures are in place to assess general fitness for work, including
assessment of individual susceptibilities and allergies e.g. a comprehensive medical
questionnaire. A follow up medical examination and opinion is sought and acted upon where
the assessment flags up a potential susceptibility.
7. Health Surveillance is provided to employees potentially at risk, as identified from the risk
assessment process and from routine occupational health monitoring. The facility is capable of
identifying the early onset of occupational skin disease and assisting in the evaluation of
suitable control measures to be deployed.
8. Employees sign for training and understanding of safe working practices and controls e.g.
correct PPE use, skin checks, skin care and occupational health referral procedures.
BEST PRACTISE
• Insured's work with customers, suppliers and Trade Associations in attempting to modify
processes and substances use where there is a significant hazard to health.
• Insured’s offer a holistic and comprehensive occupational health and/or employee wellbeing
service beyond statutory requirements. This includes health and hygiene promotion aimed at
highlighting and preventing significant health problems within the organisation, including those
relating to the skin.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations contain provisions for risk assessment
and health surveillance. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002
establishes minimum requirements for the protection of workers' health and safety from the
presence or use of 'harmful substances' (as defined in the Regulations). They set out the factors to
be considered when carrying out risk assessment, and the principles of prevention to be applied.
They also set out prescriptive requirements for health surveillance.
