So how successful was your OSH year in 2013?

January 2014
Sheila Pantry OBE

May we wish you A Very Happy, Safe, Healthy and Successful 2014 wherever you are in the World!

New Year Resolutions abound at this time of the year so it is a good time for all organisations worldwide to review their health and safety goals and decide on the training or re-training that is needed for all levels of staff.

I am inspired by the recent awards from UK organisations such as IOSH – Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, RoSPA – Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, British Safety Council and other organisations worldwide to companies and individuals who have gone beyond the norm to produce very successful training courses, services, campaigns and ideas to help make all workplaces safer, healthier and more productive.

Managing Director Sheila Pantry has just been awarded the International Institution of Occupational Safety and Health Lifetime Achievement Award 2013 see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re10KVEJyQw&list=UU5FZJRUrf14SoGXIyfXQ5sA

Check out these successful efforts and introduce them into your workplace!

FOCUS

This month’s OSHWORLD FOCUS looks at the Women in Science.

OSHWORLD – your portal to some of the best OSH web sites in the world

It is always good to review health, safety, chemical, fire and environment procedures on a regular basis. It is also important that the practices and systems in the workplace are constantly reviewed and if necessary, improved. This review may also indicate training requirements and updates and re-thinking how systems and services can be improved. This is where the free-of-charge OSHWORLD can help you.

In these days of tighter budgets perhaps training may be put on the “back-burner” – but think again how you can keep up with the latest techniques and training opportunities. So look at the latest additions to the Diary of Events and you will see plans have been made already worldwide up to the end of 2015 and beyond to have training courses, symposiums and conferences in many places in the world on a wide range of subjects.

Remember that even if you cannot attend these many events, speakers and organisers are often willing to share their knowledge. Look at the details – where possible, we add in the web sites of these events so you can request further information. And do let me know if you are organising any OSHE events so that I can add them to the Diary.

Resources

In addition to the above we hope that you find the information in OSHWORLD useful in your daily work. Globally there are continually new titles, news items, new products so remember to look at the News to find the latest information from a number of worldwide sources.

Use OSHWORLD as your portal to many hundreds of validated and authoritative web sites that you can find in the Country and Subject links we offer. New subject topics are constantly brought together on web sites, e.g. avian flu and the workplace.

Most information services have a reference shelf where you can quickly check the reference sources – so OSHWORLD brings you a collection of Reference sources and also teaches you how to Search the Internet.

Please send any suggestions or comments about OSHWORLD – your portal to validated and authoritative information. Remember also to look at our other really useful sites – www.sheilapantry.com and why not make a free entry about your company’s products in www.shebuyersguide.com.

Don’t work harder – work smarter! Be ahead of the game.

Well did you have a zero accident, incident-free and healthy year in 2013 in your workplace? Some would argue that this is not possible! But keep on trying again in 2014!

And do start to make plans for your campaigns for 2014 and beyond!
