Managing slips, trips and falls
HSE Campaign - “Shattered Lives”
The HSE is promoting their campaign entitled “Shattered Lives” which aims to assist employers in tackling one of the most common causes of injury within our sector.
For those companies wising to run projects on reducing the risk of slips, trips and falls, HSE are offering assistance and can provide articles, materials and in some cases speakers.
The campaign is supported by a website hosted by the HSE and can be found by

The website also includes a number of very useful case studies.
Working in Great Britain from overseas
The HSE has launched a new series of website pages which provides information on a whole range of topics which will help overseas workers and their employers understand their roles and responsibilities under British health and safety law.
Most of the information has been translated into 14 languages and a number of HSE publications are now available in 30 different languages. There is also the facility with the HSE’s infoline service to make use of a translator, this is provided via a three way conversation facility and is available to cover 100 languages.

Your Health and Animals
A quick guide for those working in the meat industry
BMPA has developed a booklet for employees whose jobs involve handling animals, particularly during the slaughter and dressing stages.
The booklet highlights diseases which can be contracted from animals and that may present a hazard to abattoir staff. This has been designed in a pocket book format for ease of use by abattoir employees or when consulting with their GPs.
To order copies of the booklet please
