PLAY ME – Health & Safety – Fire – PLAY ME

As an employer, you have a legal duty to provide Health and Safety training.

This is usually done in the form of a presentation at a meeting, sometimes called Toolbox Talks.

Sometimes by sending out information.

Occasionally via a website.

Whichever way you do it, it can become rather like a firework that’s been lit, that should have gone off, but hasn’t yet.

It’s very difficult to tell if it’s been a success, and it can blow up in your face if you’re not careful.

So rather than just hoping for the best, we’ve come up with a much better way to deliver a  potentially dull message in an effective way that’ll help it stick.

As with most things in life which are good for us, Health and Safety can seem very tedious and bland, but we make it entertaining and engaging. We don’t need anything from you except your subscription. We make you a tailored package, depending on your needs, that you can distribute on email, as a download link, or flash drive, that does everything for you.

We can even send you CDs if your team are on the road.

Get in touch and see how we can help.

Imagine the whole headache of Health and Safety presentations being done in this way. You’ll not only save time and money, you’ll also be helping your workforce to conduct a safe working environment, which is not just good for the staff, but makes everything run more smoothly.

Whatever your industry, there’s a Health and Safety mandate that you will have to distribute and follow, so just let us know which sections are relevant to you, and we’ll do the rest. We even supply a quiz for the end of the series.

You could even provide a prize for the highest scoring reponse.

For example, we took the following, rather sterile page of text, and turned it into something that’s entertaining, and memorable, just ask if you’re interested:

SECTION 4 – BASIC HEALTH & SAFETY

NO. 2  PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Relevant sections on personal responsibility contained in the Health and Safety at Work Act are shown below, but what they are basically saying is that individuals must work in a manner which does not put themselves or anyone else in danger.  They must comply with all safety requirements advised by their employer and they must not misuse or abuse any article supplied for safety purposes, for example protective clothing or fire extinguishers.

HASAWA Section 7 – General Duties of Employees at Work

It is your duty whilst at work:

To take reasonable care for your health and safety and that of any persons who may be affected by your acts or omissions at work,

You must also co-operate with your employer in health and safety matters.

Example:        An employer has a responsibility to provide training to his employees;  this is now being carried out with this and other programmes.  It is therefore your duty to co-operate with your employer and attend these sessions.

HASAWA Section 8 – Duty not to Interfere with or Misuse Anything Provided

You must not intentionally or recklessly interfere with, or misuse, anything provided in the interests of health, safety or welfare.

Example:        The fooling with and misuse of a fire extinguisher; or using a helmet to carry substances in.  Helmets are for head protection only.
