Title: Health and safety
Post by: Simon Campbell on March 01, 2015, 10:06:15 am

Hi guys

Just thought I would put this up as something to think about. I'm sure the more experienced guys will be all over it however some people may not be aware.

Just last week I have done an IOSH course with my part time job and it really went into detail the importance of health and safety. I know it's great to have big jobs and get great results but it would be a shame lose jeopardise it all for a small over sight especially on commercial jobs.

So for those who think I am just babbling on I refer to being able to write a good risk assessment, identifying potential hazards/reducing the risk and carrying COSHH information for your chemicals.

Sorry to be so sensible on a Sunday but I also learnt it is my moral obligation to promote health and safety so just thought I'd share  :)

Now that you have dabbled go and do the NEBOSH course that will waste a few months of your life  ;D

Haha.

I have heard that NEBOSH is horrendously boring. I will tackle that when I have got my head round IOSH. Defo found it worthwhile though to accompany the commercial cleaning  :)

I 100% agree with you teddy care. Just after doing the course surprising how much it's a part of our lives/working environment now without even realising.  Just want to make sure everyone gets to keep their profits  ;D
