Welcome back to The Health & Safety Angels, we're on to episode 23 and this week we are breaking down the stages of completing a risk assessment so we can comply with regulation 3 of The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations.
We're using our favourite H&S information webpage... HSE.gov.uk to talk you through the step by step process based on their Managing risks and risk assessment at work in the health and safety basics for your business section.
So no matter if you're already doing risk assessments and want a refresher or a different viewpoint on risk assessments or this is brand new to you, sit back, get comfy and enjoy the journey with us.

p.s. Lynsey is NOT an HSE Inspector - the recording seems to have cut a section where we discuss Lyns being a COVID inspector for the HSE during the pandemic!

This week we are bringing you the continuation of the management regs, moving on to parts 3,4,5 & 6 of regulation 3. We cut to the chase a little quicker this week!!
This episode features a break down of the legal requirement to review risk assessments, the increased focus on employment of young people and the duty of written risk assessments based on the number of people employed.
As always the discussion reaches topics that we float on to so be prepared to hear about hamsters, professionalism, words that make us giggle and one of us having a taste of dog chocolate!!
As always, get in touch with any questions, suggestions or just to chat.

Welcome to episode 21 where we start on a brand new regulation. This sees the beginning of us breaking the barriers on The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
This episode we start with regulation 3, sections 1 & 2 and there are going to be a number of episodes to follow as it's a MASSIVE regulation.
Please note, as per our normal chats, we getting carried away discussing H&S and cover some really interesting stuff!! but the regulation doesn't actually feature until 40 minutes in.
Ever wondered what a suitable and sufficient assessment of risk actually means... well, this is the episode for you.
So sit back, get comfy and enjoy the journey with us.

**TRIGGER WARNING** This episode contains discussion of suicide that some may find triggering. Please consider if this episode is right for you to listen to and ensure you are aware of support you can turn to if needed.
This week we bring you a special episode with Steve Kerslake from Construction Sport, discussing the charity he has set up, his reason for doing it and what he hopes to achieve with mental health support for the construction industry. To find out more about the work of Construction Sport, visit their website www.constructionsport.com
Steve is a campaigner for suicide in the workplace to become RIDDOR reportable, and he and Daisy discuss why he feels this is so important.
Steve talks frankly about his views on a range of topics including Mental Health awareness training; the benefits of exercise; and the implementation of workplace support that sometimes looks great but doesn't actually run through a business.
This topic is sure to create a number of thoughts and even disagreements but it is important to be open to listening to other views and we would love to hear from you after this episode.
This is an emotive topic so please make sure that if you have been or feel you will be affected by anything discussed that you have a support network available that you can access from the country you are listening in.

Welcome to episode 19 and we've decided to have our own special!
After 18 episodes of busting the barriers, we wanted to have a little catch up between ourselves and just have a general chat about what we've covered, the future episodes, different cases and real life experiences of poor health and safety performance and using H&S as an excuse!!
We hope you enjoy a little bit of us and as always, get in touch with your views, your comments, your experiences and once you have listened and get what we mean, your pictures for instagram!! healthandsafety.angels
Lots of love
