A tidy workplace makes for safety


by Duncan Smith


TAKING t im e to tidy the tool shed will help to ensure a safer working en v ironm en t on th e farm, according to Health and Safety E x e cu t iv e agricultural inspector Tim Beaumont. He said: "Usually when I'm ■visit­


ing farms I’ll ask to see the work­ shop. Often the farmer ■will, with a bit of embarrassment, show me into a dingy cave containing scrap metal, bits of old tractor and assorted


tools. "There-is a lot the farmer can do

to improve the working environ­ ment in the tool shop and at the same time reduce the risks to health


and safety. "The first message is to tidy up!


Stuff on the floor can be tripped over, which can lead to some very serious injuries. Keeping your workshop tidy will also help you find things quicker. Look at the t3T)e and amoimt of scrap metal you are keeping. Some metal is always


going to be useful, but some may just be gathering dust and cobwebs. "Ask yourself if, hand on heart,


you really need that old bit of box section you're holding on to ‘just in case'. If you really must keep some scrap on site, store it safely away from your work area. "Secondly, keep things at waist


height. Bending down to pick things up off the floor puts you at risk of hurting your back. “The solution is obvious - don't


put them there in the first place. Your capacity to l if t an object increases and your risk of injury decreases the straighter you keep your back when lifting and the clos­ er to your torso you hold the object. "And put wheels under things:


Welding kits, tool boxes, oil barrels, sacks and tyres are all easier and safer to move around if you use trol­ leys - which don't have to be pur­ pose bought. “I've seen old prams, shopping


trolleys and wheel barrows all com­ mandeered in the workshop for moving bulky items around the


farm. Other things to check include your chains and compressor. “All lifting and towing chains


should be kept off the floor and properly hung up. This reduces the


risk of corrosion. “Lifting equipment, such as


chains and slings, and the air receiv­ er on the compressor should all be periodically thoroughly examined by a competent person. “Your insurer will be able to give


you more details. "And check electric flexes: Make


sure all the flexes are undamaged and that the plugs are properly fused and match the equipment. Portable appliances, such as pressure washers, should be used with a circuit breaker


or ROD. "Most of this advice is cheap and


easy to implement. The type of accidents that can occur in the work­ shop tend not be headline makers but they can keep you off work for significant periods of time. "Who, in this day and age, can


afford that?" BP’s pledge over wrong fuel damage


A PLEDGE by UK oil company BP to compensate Clitheroe drivers who fill up with the wrong fuel at their petrol stations has been welcomed by the Euro MP who has campaigned to curb ■vehicle misfuelling. More than 120,000 drivers each


year in Britain—14,000 of these in the North West - make the e lu s iv e and sometimes calamitous mistake of fill­ ing their petrol or diesel vehicles ■with the wrong fuel. It is an error which the AA says can

cost anything from £80 to £3,000 to put right. The number of AA call­ outs to deal with the problem has risen by almost 10% over the last five


Limited increase in water bills


LOCAL water watchdog Water- Voice North West has ^ven a guard­ ed welcome on proposals to limit increases in water bills in the region. The water industry regulator


Ofwat has published draft price determinations for the water and sewerage companies in England and


Wales. If the proposals are confumed m


December, customers in the North West repon ■will see average bills rise by £46 over the five years from 2005 to 2010. That figure, which does not account for inflation, woidd see the average annual water bill for the re^on go from £269 to £315. Water Voice North West - an


independent water watchdog body - has pre'viously expressed concern about the impact which large price increases would have on both household and business cus­


tomers. Chairman Maurice Terry said: „ -j . ■


"We are pleased that the customer has been listened to and common sense seems to have prevailed an more modest price increase propos­


als are on the table."


“The devil is in the detail and WaterVoice North West will want to ensure that customer priorities


have been met. "Any price increase will be unwel­


come since we know many cus­ tomers already struggle to pay their bills. However, the current numbers look much more realistic in terms of what is acceptable and what cus­ tomers can afford to pay.” Meanwhile, water company Unit­


ed Utilities h ^ announced plans to create a charitable trust to help those having genuine difficulty pay­


ing their water bills. The independent charitable trust


- to which the company intends to donate about £15 million over the next fi^ve years—will help customers in genuine difficulty by clearing out­ standing water arrears and other


'’^ h n Roberts, United Utilities’ chief executive, said: “The trust is expected to be up and running early


nextyear. “It will help customers by clear­


ing outstanding water arrears and other bills. In addition, it will also


support advice on financial matters and financial literacy work in our region. We are also actively working with other bodies, including Water- Voice, as part of the Government’s re^view of how to help lower income households to meet their water and


sewerage charges.” As well as seeking to help cus­


tomers suffering genuine hardship. United Utilities will actively pursue those who could pay but don’t. “I t now has in place a more


sophisticated customer manage­ ment system to assist in tracking non-paying customers who appear to have the means to pay their bills. More than 2,000 court summons


have been issued in the past week as the company seeks to pursue cus­ tomers who have consistently defaulted on payments.


Mr Roberts added: “While seek­ . pursue those who appear to have the


ing to help those customers who we know have difficulty paying, we ■will


means hut refuse to do so. “It is only fair that we take this


action in the interest of the majority of our customers who pay in full and on time.”

Established 15 Years


years, and the equi^valent of 13 tanker loads of fuel is said to be wasted through misfuelling incidents every


month. In a letter to Ribble Valley Liberal


Democrat MEP, Chris Davies, BP admits that colouring their “Ultimate


Unleaded” and “Ultimate Diesel” pumps with different shades of blue has caused some confusion. BP ■vice-president Mr John Mum-


ford has pledged to compensate any drivers who misfuelled, and perhaps damaged their vehicle, as a result of the mix-up. He writes: “As a gesture of goodwill, BP is prepared to cover any costs for drainage, flushing the


engine and any replacement parts plus labour and VAT.” The company says it has derided to


change the colour of the "Ultimate Unleaded" nozzle handle from light blue to green. Following a request from Mr


Davies the European Commission has agreed to consider steps to reduce the confusion. The Commission will consult manufacturers of both vehi­ cles and fuel pumps to identify prac­ tical solutions to the problem. Drivers who have misfuelled at a


BP station can call the company’s customer care team on 0800 402 402 for further details on how to claim.


The Wayne Rooney of running!


CHARTERED physiotherapist Denise Park is back in the Ribble Valley, following her visit to Sauze D'Oulx, Italy, for the World Mountain Running Championships. In our report last week, she was pictured


with Preston’s Billy Burns, England's fastest mountain runner with the senior men's team, not the junior team as we reported. The runner finished fifth in the


world, competing against 154 athletes from


42 different coimtries. "While he is extremely well-known in


Europe, he is not so widely known at home due to the low profile of the sport in Eng­ land," Mrs Park told us, adding: "He is to.
