A significant number of small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are not keeping their health and safety records up to date, it has been claimed – meaning many are in breach of standards.
According to Lisa Fowlie, president of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), small businesses in general are not fully au fait with health and safety guidelines and regulations, and often view them in a negative light.
Rather than being seen an attempt to improve standards in businesses, she said, too often SMBs see health and safety legislation as being detrimental to their cause.
However, Ms Fowlie has suggested that applying health and safety law is not only “very easy to do”, but also confers positive benefits. She admitted, though, that these are facts all too often lost on small businesses.
“It’s very difficult to get the message across to small businesses, because by their nature they have got very few people [so there's an issue] of who actually takes the role on… People think that you have to have a huge amount of red tape, and that if you start on [health and safety procedures] then it’s going to stop them operating,” she commented.

Ladders are the most commonly used equipment to access temporary workplaces at a height beyond the normal reach. The type of ladder selected varies depending upon the available place, the height to be reached and the duration of use. It is essential to take proper safety measures while using a ladder at industrial workplace. While using a conventional ladder, whether it is a step ladder or a regular one to be placed at an angle against the surface, the user typically performs up and down movements by grasping upper rungs or sides of the ladder with the hands while moving the feet from step-to-step on lower rungs or steps of the ladder. IF such a ladder is placed at an angle that is too steep to the surface it becomes difficult for the centre of gravity to be stable and there I every possibility of the ladder tipping backwards once the user starts to climb it. Besides, the rungs or steps d not provide the ease of an conventional handrail. Also, the lack of any surrounding side support lends a sense of insecurity to the users.

With rapid advancement in technology, cars have undergone a paradigm change in their appearance as well as the speed that they are capable of achieving. The inventor, Mr. Ford himself would be surprised at the way his invention has got along. It is speed more than any other factor that has necessitated car safety measures to be kept at pace with the technological advancement in other spheres. The automobile industry, fortunately, is very much aware of the need to prevent injuries and deaths caused to drivers and passengers alike due to rampant speeding which has become more of a rule than an exception.
Car seat belts did not serve the designed purpose till the time most of the states made it mandatory to fasten seat belts under threat of penalties under law. It even evoked some manufacturers to design seat belts that would automatically secure drivers and passengers after ignition.
The newer cars are nowadays equipped with another restraint system in shape of air bags for the safety of all those sitting in the car. In many models these air bags are placed in a way that will inflate and protect the driver and the passengers both in the unfortunate event of a collision. These air bags coupled with seat belts that can be adapted for child car safety seats provide sufficient safety to car users. Read more...
