MORE INFOEvery year, vast quantities of chemicals are sold and shipped, for use in workplaces around the world.
And, with a global level of trade comes a need to ensure that the hazards pertaining to chemical products are clearly communicated - regardless of where in the world those products are being put to use.
While national laws and regulations relating to chemicals may be similar, they are often different enough to require multiple sets of Labels, Safety Data Sheets, and other information when being traded internationally.
All this creates the potential for confusion - which, when dealing with hazardous chemicals - could have disastrous consequences in the workplace.
Developed at the UN level, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (or GHS for short) aims to develop a single, globally harmonized system to address:
This program provides an overview of these elements as your workplace makes the transition to the GHS.

MORE INFOThis program has been produced to inform and educate on the safety issues that exist in the office environment. It looks at the common and often overlooked hazards that could exist in an average office, and how these hazards can be recognized and controlled to reduce the risks to individuals working in offices.
The program provides:
It’s easy to consider the office a perfectly safe work environment, and forget about the hazards that can exist. Just because you work in an office, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be concerned for your own health and safety, and that of your colleagues.

MORE INFOMaterial handling occurs in one way or another in every department of every business on every working day - it is not surprising that accidents and injuries resulting from incorrect manual handling techniques comprise the largest group of occupational hazards that result in lost time.
This program covers the following:
It is important to understand that of all the manual handling activities that put people at risk, lifting and carrying of objects accounts for 75% of all manual handling accidents and injuries.
The principles of correct lifting and carrying must therefore be an important part of any manual handling training program.
This program has been produced with the general workforce in mind, however, because the principles remain unchanged, regardless of the location, it is a program suitable for a wide audience.

MORE INFOA particularly dangerous form of cybersecurity risk is that of insider threats.
These are cyber threats that originate from within the organization which makes them especially difficult to detect and deal with.
Because an insider threat does not need to go through the process of gaining access to the system – as they’re already inside – they are often capable of going undetected for longer, and doing more damage, than external threats.

MORE INFOAll workplaces make use of some sort of Display Screen Equipment. Display Screen Equipment, sometimes referred to as DSE, is any device, or piece of equipment that has an alphanumeric or graphic display screen.
Equipment categorized as display screen equipment include:
Tasks requiring prolonged use of display screen equipment can present real hazards to users. Use of that equipment requires proper management to control the hazards and reduce the risks to DSE users.
This program aims to raise awareness of DSE issues in the workplace. By paying close attention to the requirements of the job and the design of the workplace, the threat to individuals’ health and safety at work can be made as small, and the workplace experience made as comfortable, as possible.
