Hello and welcome to the January/February 2018 issue of Tomorrow’s Health & Safety,


This is my first issue as editor and I’m really excited to learn more about the industry and getting to know you, our readers. I will be joined by co-editor


Ryan Lloyd to ensure that THS continues to thrive and covers the hottest topics in every publication.


During the period of 2016/17 the majority of fatal injuries to workers were


caused by falls from height. With this in mind, in our Working at Height feature, Paul Forrester of British Engineering Services discusses how to avoid the most common lifting equipment accidents while Berenice Northcott explains


why fall protection systems are invaluable in protecting those who work above ground level.


Meanwhile, in the same period slips, trips and falls accounted for 29% of non-fatal injuries in the workplace and can be costly both to employers and


employees. In our dedicated section on Slips, Trips and Falls, you’ll find advice from ISSA on how cleaning is a valuable tool in preventing this type of accident and HAIX discuss how to select the right kind of footwear..


New for 2018, we have a special focus on Health & Safety on Premises. This month we shine the spotlight on Leisure & Retail facilities with a case study from QLM who demonstrate how computer visions can help save lives in


swimming pools while also saving money for operators. And NEBOSH Diploma holder, Cath Shaw discusses how good health and safety practice enables tourists to enjoy the Royal Armouries.
