BUILDING SAFETY GROUP HUB FEATURES
S
ELECT Members can now enjoy an expanded range of health and safety advice, podcasts and practical tools thanks to our ongoing partnership with the
Building Safety Group (BSG). BSG has recently updated its online
Hub, launching an extensive variety of health and safety toolbox talks and enhancing its comprehensive range of risk assessments.
It has also published a range of guidance to help Members prepare for potential COVID-19 inspections and spot checks by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Members who are registered with
the BSG Hub can now access this new wealth of content absolutely FREE to help them stay compliant and safe in all areas of their business. Dave Forrester, Director of
Technical Services at SELECT, said: “These new additions to the BSG Hub cover all aspects of health and safety and will provide even more fantastic help for our Members. “If you haven’t done so already, I would recommend signing up to the Hub to take advantage of its many easy-to-use and fl exible benefi ts.”

A ‘Method of use’ box is also available so users can provide a description of how the substance is applied. ●Method Statements – a new ‘Plant or Equipment’ fi eld has been added to the module.
