This month’s newsletter contains intriguing articles, from fatigue management to a theme park prosecution, an electrical cable strike, Health and Safety qualifications, finishing with an article on the CHAS accreditation scheme. Be sure to read on!

With World Sleep Day on March 19th, there is no better time to explore how employers can control fatigue in the Workplace. It is universally known that Sleep affects quality of life, but have you ever thought about this in a workplace context? An SHP article will explore just this, introducing you to appropriate measures that can be implemented to reduce the risk of fatigue and ultimately improve productivity in a work environment.

We will look at a HSE article that focuses on the tragic death of an 11-year-old girl after an incident at Drayton Manor theme park. Not only has it cost the young girl her life on what should have been an enjoyable day out on a school trip, it has led to the company being fined £1 million. An incident that could potentially have been avoided had a suitable risk assessment been in place.

A HSE article will look at the outcome of an event that saw an excavator strike a wall containing a 415v cable during a demolition job, leading to personal injury and sentencing following the breach of the Health and Safety Work Act 1974. Again, an occurrence that could potentially have been prevented if a safe system of work was in place.

On a brighter note, an SHP article will inform aspiring Health and Safety professionals of the recently introduced virtual classroom learning method for the NEBOSH General Certificate and all the benefits this can offer! Sticking on the theme of achievement, another SHP article will address the new format of the highly reputable CHAS accreditation scheme, the article will notify you of a simpler way for your company to achieve gold standard, whilst increasing the benefits at the same time. Get involved.
