Can we interest you in new Noise and HAVS Risk Management Workshops?

HSE Training and events eBulletin Are you having trouble viewing this email? View the content as a web page. Welcome to your new-look HSE Training and events ebulletin. We've extended the HSE brand. While we will continue to provide Guidance and Research on our main website to help you comply with health and safety law, we also offer paid-for solutions to help with your management of health and safety.  HSL products and services are now offered under the HSE brand and include:  Publications and Products; Training and Events; Testing and Monitoring; Research and Consultancy. Calling all Construction, Demolition and Infrastructure workers!   HSE Training and Events are thinking about developing two new 1-day, back-to-back workshops. The first would cover occupational noise risk management and the second hand-arm vibration measurement and management. The workshops would provide detailed guidance as to what constitutes good practice in risk management for these issues, along with a review of HSE's expectations. While each workshop is stand-alone, organisations can benefit from combining some of the underlying management techniques for both noise and vibration to reduce cost and resource requirements while managing risk effectively. Have a read of the brief workshop overviews below and let us know whether they're something that you or someone else in your organisation would be interested in attending. Thanks for your help! HSE's Training and Events Team.   DAY 1: Noise Risk Management Workshop for the Construction, Demolition and Infrastructure Industries Practical, low cost solutions to reduce hearing damage risk According to the UK insurance industry, the current volume and costs of hearing damage claims (e.g. £360m in 2014) are unsustainable. What's more, HSE research indicates that personal protective equipment (PPE) is considerably less effective in practice than is generally thought. Therefore, noise risk management requires a substantially more sophisticated approach than simply issuing PPE. HSE Training and Events proposes a 1-day workshop to show how implementing effective risk assessment, management and noise control can reduce risk by 75% needn't be a costly process. The workshop would give delegates the practical knowledge needed to be able to: understand the HSE attitude to noise control and the regulatory requirements understand noise measurement and risk assessment best practice ensure that PPE is effective on site understand the uses and practical applications for standard acoustic materials understand different noise control measures, their performance and their limitations understand how on-site occupational noise controls can also reduce off-site environmental noise problems discuss (and potentially solve) with HSE their current noise risk management problems Those likely to benefit from this workshop include health, safety and environmental professionals, project and other engineers involved in all aspects of noise risk assessment and management. If HSE was to develop this workshop, would you or your colleagues be interested in attending it?

HSE Training and Events proposes a 1-day workshop to help health & safety professionals to sort through the minefield of opportunities for mistakes based on misunderstanding or misinformation. Using multimedia and practical demonstrations, the workshop will contrast correct vibration measurement technique with common measurement assumptions and errors. The pros and cons of the latest risk management technologies will also be reviewed. This 1 day workshop would provide delegates with the practical knowledge needed to be able to: understand HSE's attitude to HAV risk control and the regulatory requirements understand HAV measurement best practice, including compliance with BS 5349 understand HAV risk management best practice discuss (and potentially solve) with HSE their current HAV risk management problems Those likely to benefit from this workshop include health, safety and environmental professionals, project and other engineers who are involved in HAV measurement and risk management.
