European Health & Safety week (20th - 24th October 2008)

Hi all

We are participating in the European Health & Safety week (20th - 24th October 2008) again this year...

The European Agency for Health and Safety at Work are currently running a 2 year campaign on Risk Assessments - the aim being to show that risk assessment is not necessarily complicated, bureaucratic or a task only for experts.

The campaign also aims to raise awareness on this issue, provide information and practical advice, encourage activities that have a positive impact in the workplace, and identify and recognise good practice.

Full details and useful links can be found in the Health & Safety section of our Blog - please take a look...

England is now Smoke Free

It is now against the law to smoke or allow smoking in virtually all public places, workplaces and work vehicles.

If you want to give up smoking, the NHS offers a range of excellent free support, including local NHS Stop Smoking Services and the Together Programme - an interactive support programme that uses medical research and insights from ex-smokers to help people stop smoking.

For more information visit our Health & Safety section, call the NHS Smoking Helpline on 0800 169 0 169 or visit gosmokefree.co.uk.

We have been updating our Health and Safety pages this week with information on the new UK Smoking Ban that comes into force 1st July 2007.

For more information on what this ban means to you - please visit the Health & Safety part of our weblog.

As ever, we welcome any and all comments you may have...
