HSE Myth of the Month

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have been running the 'Myth of the
Month' for four years to highlight and put right common misconceptions about
health and safety and the role of the HSE. This feature is now coming to an
end - the HSE have released a final myth of the month, which is 'health and
safety has gone mad'.

Over the years, stories that were created or exaggerated by the media
included "the banning of conkers, firemen's poles and park benches" also
stories about "excessive safety signs...onerous risk assessments and claims
that kids need to be wrapped in cotton wool".

With its Myth of the Month, the HSE has tried to put the record straight that it
offers "advice setting out the sensible and proportionate steps we can all take
to deal with workplace risks properly".

Single EU health and safety qualification

New plans to develop a single European qualification and training framework


for health and safety professionals, were revealed at a conference in Brussels
recently.

ENSHPO (European Network of Safety and Health Professional


Organisations) Chairman, Giancarlo Bianchi, said: “Professionals who
possess the qualification standard will demonstrate to employers that they
have the professional skills, knowledge and experience to conduct their job
within any country in the EU."

Plumber sentenced for carrying out illegal gas work

Tony MacTaggart (who also trades as TJM Heating and Plumbing) has been
sentenced for putting people at risk by illegally working on domestic gas
appliances after lying to to homeowners about being registered with Gas
Safe, the compulsory registration scheme for gas engineers.
