Welcome to our continuation of the welfare regs, regulation 3 - there is just SO much, we had to create a second part!As before, reg 3 is the application of the regulations, so who they do apply to, don't apply to and work activities, locations that they cover but also when they don't.These are setting the knowledge in place before we get in to the detail of the regulations so we like to think they are setting us up for the nitty gritty :)Don't forget to join us on the patreon site for CDM regs, they are getting interesting.Lynsey & Daisy x

(think 40 mins) to get to it but we're covering regulation 13.We discuss capabilities and training which covers 'WHEN' you have to provide adequate health and safety training - it's a pretty straight forward regulation, hence the large portion of chit chat (although we think it's all very relevant)Hope you enjoy the episode!Lynsey & Daisy xx

Welcome to Episode 46!PLEASE NOTE!! During recording we spotted an error! We were referring to an older version of the Management Regulations and some of what we read out has been revoked!

An unscheduled change this week following a situation that unfolded following a recent tik tok post.A video was posted on our tik tok channel that lead to a very large number of comments that were abusive/misogynistic/rude and some that highlighted a lack of understanding of health and safety from a moral, legal or financial view so we decided we needed to discuss this with our listeners to break it down. It also, as humans, had an impact on us and we felt a way to process it was to share our experience with you as the people on the end of the abuse and show the impact it can have.Please do feel free to get in touch with your views on this, we're always happy to have a discussion.Daisy & Lynsey x

Welcome to episode 42. We're on a good run with the Management Regulations and this episode we're on to regulation 9 - It's a pretty self explanatory regulation for once so it's a shorter episode this time but you're in for a mixed in chit chat with Lynsey & Daisy.We hope you enjoy this episode and we look forward to hearing from you if you would like to get in touch via instagram, email or our tik tok.Keep safe.Lynsey & Daisy x

Welcome to episode 38. This week is another special where Lynsey gets to chat to Gary Pharo from Sundstrom Safety about all things RPE.RPE can be a vital part of your control measures but is a topic that is so massive that very few people truly understand it. There are so many elements to complying and purely providing RPE is a tiny element of the package.In this episode we discuss the elements to consider when deciding on RPE as a control measure from the product itself to the on going management, training, storage etc...As always, we truly hope you enjoy listening and learning and if there are any elements you want to discuss, feel free to get in touch via instagram, tik tok or email.Lynsey & Daisy xx

Gill Kernick lived on the 21st floor of Grenfell Tower up until 2014. Many of those who were her neighbours at the time were lost in the horrific fire which broke out on June 14th 2017.

Welcome to the final instalment of our 4 part PDCA cycle. This week we look at the ACT segment and the HSG 65 description of what this section is looking at.As always, we break down, in our own words, what this element is asking of a business and why it is so important. We discuss the importance of sharing and communication (of course effectively!) and why the findings, especially if they highlight gaps, are really powerful for improving H&S management. L&D xx

Welcome to the third instalment of the PDCA cycle. This episode we discuss what the check element contains and why it is so important to ensure good H&S performance. We have focussed on one element, which is the monitoring aspect of this segment as we decided to do a whole separate episode on Incident investigation as it has its own HSG document so that will follow shortly!Monitoring that what you had planned and implemented is actually being done and achieving what you wanted to achieve is such an important part on H&S management so this element is VITAL to any system and when it highlights gaps, that's even more important because you can make positive improvements.So sit back, relax and enjoy the journey with us. Remember to join us over on tiktok to help us get even more content out!Lynsey & Daisy x
