Hello and welcome to the May issue of Tomorrow’s Health & Safety.
Helen Devery, Head of Health & Safety at law firm BLM, raises a particularly pertinent point in this month’s issue. Whilst large organisations have a tendency to grab the headlines for huge fines handed to them (Merlin Attractions Operations’ whopping £5m for Alton Towers’ Smiler incident being a prime example), the majority of prosecutions are against much smaller businesses that have lacked the manpower and financial resources to equip well-structured safety management systems. You can check out Helen’s complete review of the impact that new sentencing guidelines continue to have on organisation and their employees on page 14.
In this issue, we shine the spotlight on Plant Machinery & Site Safety with SiteZone Safety discussing how radio frequency identification proximity warning technology can protect personnel from stationary hazards. Remote Medical International explores how using medical protocols can help businesses to provide appropriate levels of care to workers no matter their location in our H&S on premises feature, and Vodex looks at a how misunderstandings of hazardous substances throughout history has caused a series of factory-based disasters in our Work-related Diseases section.
Finally, we have all the need-to-know information ahead of the Safety & Health Expo 2019 in June. With a list of exhibitors, details on what to expect and who to see, be sure to check out our preview section – and don’t forget to register.
Enjoy the issue.
