Why do you need Certification for UK Safety Training?

Uk safety training

Employee with his recently – gained certificates of competence will not usually be able to equal

the productivity of a more experienced operator but with support and supervision from his

colleagues he will pick things up every day. Be aware, though, that everyone brings something to

the process: He might be slow but he might also have learnt a few techniques that make life

easier – and safer. Equally, the more experienced, senior colleague may be quick but may also

have picked up a few bad habits along the way. This type of give-and-take has been going on in

the workplace for ever and is just as valuable now as it has ever been.

What we don’t have in our current structure of training and employment in tree work is any way

to acknowledge these gains and achievements that are happening to individuals every day.

Planning is critical for success. Priorities should be detailed and the skills gap identified.

Development objectives should be specifically set and the identification of competency levels is

key. Support in forestry is available, and this should be assessed, whilst the cost & time

implications must be factored in, also. The benefit of added value to your business and staff must

be set against a realistic time frame. We are all individuals and therefore different. Each person

possesses a different preferred learning style. These range from innovative and analytical to

common sense and dynamic. Within CPD also, a period of reflection is important in knowing, if

you, the individual forester have achieved your objectives.

CPD could also be used in forming a nationally recognised, auditable and credible structure to

acknowledge individual operators training, certification and career progression, a register of Tree

Work Operatives. This scheme would have a large advantage if it could be made to happen, but

cost would be the main barrier to progress. In relation to career progression under a national

scheme, chain saw and forest machine operators could take their transferable skills (if the need

arises) into other industry sectors such as construction, without the need for duplication of

training, assessment or certification.

Working at heights training courses help to reduce the risk of major injuries

working at heights training in UKWorking at height still one of the biggest causes of fatalities and major injuries. Common

cases include falls from ladders and through fragile surfaces. ‘Work at height’ means work

in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance

liable to cause personal injury (for example a fall through a fragile roof).

This section shows how employers can take simple, practical measures to reduce the risk of

any of their workers falling while working at height.

Make a well planned work

You should ensure work is appropriately planned, regulated and carried out by competent people

with the skills, knowledge and experience to do the job. You should utilize the right sort of

equipment for working at height.

Take a sensible approach when considering precautions. Low-risk, relatively straightforward

tasks will require less effort when it comes to planning and there may be some low-risk

situations where common sense tells you no particular precautions are necessary.

Safety measures

First assess the risks. Factors to weigh up include the height of the task, the duration and

frequency, and the condition of the surface being worked on.

Before working at height work through these simple steps:

ï‚· avoid work at height where it’s reasonably practicable to do so

ï‚· minimise the distance and consequences of a fall, by using the right type of equipment

where the risk cannot be eliminated

ï‚· prevent falls using either an existing place of work that is already safe or the right type

of equipment

For each step, always consider measures that protect everyone at risk (collective protection)

before measures that only protect the individual (personal protection).

Collective protection is equipment that does not require the person working at height to act for it

to be effective. Examples are permanent or temporary guardrails, scissor lifts and tower

scaffolds.

Personal protection is equipment that requires the individual to act for it to be effective. An

example is putting on a safety harness correctly and connecting it, with an energy-absorbing

lanyard, to a suitable anchor point.

Working at heights training courses help to reduce the risk of major injuries

Dos and don’ts of working at height

Do….

ï‚· as much work as possible from the ground

ï‚· provide protection from falling objects

ï‚· take precautions when working on or near fragile surfaces

ï‚· ensure workers can get safely to and from where they work at height

ï‚· ensure equipment is suitable, stable and strong enough for the job, maintained and

checked regularly

ï‚· consider emergency evacuation and rescue procedures

Don’t…

ï‚· overreach on ladders or stepladders

 overload ladders – consider the equipment or materials workers are carrying before

working at height. Check the pictogram or label on the ladder for information

ï‚· rest a ladder against weak upper surfaces, eg glazing or plastic gutters

 let anyone who is not competent (who doesn’t have the skills, knowledge and experience

to do the job) work at height.

ï‚· use ladders or stepladders for strenuous or heavy tasks, only use them for light work of

short duration (a maximum of 30 minutes at a time)

Training Course Working At Height for UK

Working at heightsWorking at Height courses for operatives; supervisors; and managers are offered at

Aegis4training. The Work at Height Regulations apply to all work at height where

there is a risk of a fall liable to cause personal injury. The regulations place duties

on employers, the self-employed, and any person that controls the work of others.

In as much as the employer tries his or her best to create the best environment at

work, it is upon you as an employee to stick to the rules you were given at the

safety harness training and keep yourself and others safe. It is for this reason that

you are required to pass certain tests given after your training to be employed.

Falls from height remain the single biggest cause of workplace deaths and one of

the main causes of major injury. In the year 2007/8 58 workers died and 3623 were

injured as a result of a fall from height. Ladders remain the most common agent

involved and account for more than a quarter of all reported falls from height

What is working at height? A place is ‘at height’ if (unless the Regulations are

followed) a person could be injured or die falling from it, even if it is at or below

ground level. ‘Work’ includes moving around at a place of work (except by a

staircase in a permanent workplace) but not travel to or from a place of work. For

instance, a sales assistant on a stepladder would be working at height, but the HSE

would not be inclined to apply the Regulations to a mounted police officer on

Employers are being warned to take correct precautions when their staff work at

height. The HSE regularly applying the law and penalties to individuals and

organisations for breaches of the regulations, particularly when these breaches

result in death or serious injury to employees.

Under Regulations 5 and 6(5)(b), you must ensure that everyone involved in the

work is competent (or, if being trained, is supervised by a competent person). This

includes involvement in organisation, planning, supervision, and the supply and

maintenance of equipment. Where other precautions do not entirely eliminate the

risk of a fall occurring, you must (as far as it is reasonably practicable to do so)

train those who will be working at height how to avoid falling, and how to avoid or

minimise injury to themselves should they fall.

Computer screen can damage your eyes

istock000018928325large Assessing Display Screen Equipment E learning training in UKNowadays, we seem to spend most of our time looking at screens: be it a computer screen at work, a mobile phone screen to make a call or a TV screen to relax. But how damaging is looking at screens for our eyes?

Based on Dr Blakeney, an optometric, computers will not permanently damage the eyes; however, they can cause strain or exacerbate existing eye conditions.

What problems with people do looking at computer screens cause? People working at computers more often, (specifically those people that work at the computer for more than three hours a day), may experience symptoms such as:

  • Blurred vision
  • Headaches
  • Burning sensations
  • Eye discomfort
  • Itchy eyes
  • Dry or watering eyes
  • Changes in color perception

Eyestrain is a type of repetitive strain injury (RSI) that is caused by lack of rest periods, improper working conditions and so forth. There are many causes of eyestrain. One of these is glare.

There are two types of glare, direct and indirect. Direct glare is where light shines directly in your eyes; whereas indirect glare is caused by light reflecting off surfaces into your eyes. Glare often results from computer screens being too dark or too bright. Glare leads to eye muscle fatigue, for the eyes have to struggle to make out the images on the screen.

Another major cause of eyestrain is the position of the computer screen. Naturally, the eyes are positioned so that they look straight ahead and slightly down.If the eyes have to look in a different direction, the muscles have to continually work to hold this position.

Thus, if your computer monitor is positioned incorrectly, the eye muscles must constantly work to hold the eyes in the correct position to view the monitor.

In order to prevent the eyes becoming strained in this way, the top of your computer screen should be no higher than eye level.

Dry eye syndrome. According to the NHS, using your computer correctly can also help to prevent dry eye syndrome.Dry eye syndrome is a condition in which the eyes become inflamed due to a lack of tears. This lack of tears is commonly due to a blockage of the oil secreting glands in the eyes. Although this condition causes discomfort, it does not usually affect vision.

 

Ways to reduce damage to your eyes caused by computer screens There are several ways you can minimise the potential damage to your eyes caused by looking at computer screens. Firstly, it is important to set up your computer screen so that it is in the correct position in relation to your eyes.As previously mentioned, the top of the screen should be in line with your eye level. In addition, the screen should be placed approximately 18-30 inches from you.

The screen should also be tilted slightly back – between 10 to 15 degrees depending on the person’s particular preference. This is so that you do not receive glare from lights in the ceiling.

Glare can also be avoided by placing blinds over nearby windows, or using a glare screen. In addition to adjusting the position of your screen, you can also minimise eye problems by simply blinking more frequently.

Many people don’t realise that they actually blink less when they look at a screen. Blinking is important, however, as it washes your eyes in their naturally therapeutic fluids. It is also important to take breaks from looking at your screen. One easy way to remember this is to think of 20-20-20. This reminds you that every 20 minutes you should try to look at something 20 feet away for a minimum of 20 seconds. It is also recommended to take breaks from your screen altogether, in particular every 2 hours.

Can looking at computer monitor improve eyesight? Despite the potential eye problems caused by looking at a screen too frequently, research carried out in the US has actually found that some screen viewing can be of benefit to the eyes.

Specifically, they realised that playing video games can improve vision. This is because playing video games gives the users chance to improve their contrast sensitivity. Contrast sensitivity refers to how faded an object can be before it is impossible to differentiate it from the same field of view. It is something that is affected by ageing. Contrast sensitivity is particularly important for activities such as driving in poor visibility, like in fog or at night.
