 Scotts driver training South Queensferry and surrounding areas 14 May · ☆☆UPDATE☆☆ Just a quick update to our pupils and facebook followers. Although we can not return to work at the moment, one of the things the government are advising business's to do before we return is to have a risk assessment in place. This week we spoke with Work Place Health and Safety Advice Service who set about this request for us. We are happy to announce that we now have a full risk assessment in place to ensure that we are prepared when lockdown restrictions are lifted. Can't wait to catch up with all our pupils again.

 Phil offered a quick turn around on some H&S documentation I required and was very professional and thorough in his approach, will definitely be doing business again. 

Billy McPherson - SCOTICA WILDLIFE SOLUTIONS

 Fantastic service and advice given to my daughter and reassurance given on how to open safely, offered advice at any time even after risk assessment 

Tina Wallace - Lauren Coventry Beauty Therapy
Client
     

 As a supplier to the maritime industry it is essential that our health and safety processes mirror the high standard of product that we and our clients produce. Given Phil’s expert background he very quickly understood our needs and provided a considered practical review of our processes. We are continuing to work together as our organisational needs and processes change. As such we would strongly recommend the knowledgeable, personable and detailed services provided by the Company. 

Witherbys
Client
     

 You are thorough with your perception of how to execute a workscope safely. Sometimes within control of work we need to use common sense although still adhering to the COW guidelines. I've always found you to be very realistic in terms of the likelihood of the Hazard becoming a source of accident/incident. I see AA's regularly who cant use common sence when a simple task needs to be delivered. Waiting on a piece of paperwork from Tom , Dick or Harry resulting in waiting time and delays. Even if everyone knows the hazard is zero they can't deviate away from that handbook and take responsibility.

 You have many hands on years experience both onshore and offshore, you never just sat in a classroom learning health and safety you were out in the real world working and learning at the same time

 To whom it may concern I have known and worked with Phil at Sullom Voe Terminal over a 10 year period, working on behalf of both BP and Enquest. I would happily work with him again and highly recommend his skills, knowledge and services. Phil and I worked very closely together on normal planned maintenance and breakdown work but also on a number of major electrical upgrades required for the life extension project at Sullom Voe Terminal. As REP, Responsible Electrical Person, I am responsible for all electrical buildings, equipment, work and personnel at Sullom Voe. Phil as an Area Authority / Control of Work Specialist was vital in assisting me at breaking down tasks and developing method statements for the ease of risk assessing, planning and scheduling. A number of the tasks required level 2 risk assessments, for high risk tasks, involving a team of selected experienced people, required for open flame hot work, confined space, or working live equipment. Phil was our dedicated Area Authority and facilitator and always kept us on track with legislation, procedures and processes. Examples of projects we worked on was the replacement of 415V to 3.3KV transformers, 3.3KV to 11 KV transformers , upgrade of critical UPS systems in multiply sub station, installation of new gas plant, installation of new laggan pig station, upgrade of existing pig station, bypass and decommissioning of sub stations, replacement of plant cable tray. All works carried out accross the site:- Offsites area, Jetty location to main Process area and all work carried out without any accident and incidents. I know Phil would be a worthy addition to any workforce. Regards Darryl Jennings REP (Responsible Electrical Person) Sullom Voe Terminal Mossbank Shetland

Defibrillators, may be needed in the work place

A defibrillator is a machine that sends a high energy electric shock through the heart. This high energy electric shock is called defibrillation. The aim of this shock is to return a heart to its normal working state if it goes into cardiac arrest.

Safety Inspection - Advantages of Employing an Independent Professional

Safety Inspections could be carried out by utilising someone from another team, department or branch but could also be by a totally independent safety professional. We as humans tend to be blinkered, we see what we expect to see and don't see the unexpected. How many times have we stood on the bairns toy, kicked the dogs water bowl, trapped a finger in a window handle? We all do it, especially if we are concentrating on a particular task such as doing the dishes. We are all aware of the saying "familiarity breeds contempt"

The Benefits to a business of Health and Safety

The Benefits to a business of Health and Safety

Since I became self employed and started communicating with small businesses it amazes me how many have no health and safety policy or procedures and worse than that, no understanding to what it is all about, how it can benefit them, their employees, and their business let alone the legal side of things. I still frequently hear the old ‘health and safety gone mad' and ‘it costs so much and you get nothing back’. So in this article I am going to try and address these issues. Before I do however, a little bit about me and health and safety.

Home Health and Safety – Common Harmful Products

Home Health and Safety – Common Harmful Products

This article is on the various products that we have lying about the house and use in the maintenance of our house, garden, car etc.In the working environment we must comply with a regulation called the Control of Substances Harmful to Health or COSHH. This tells us what the hazard of the product is, how it may affect us, what precautions we should take when using it and the first aid / medical measures requirements if needed. In the domestic environment COSHH does not apply however the products still cause us harm, they have not changed. The relevant symbols and information are still usually printed on the packaging or container, it is obviously good practice to read this information before using any product.
