  • Vaping and Smoking Areas at Workplaces
    We recently reviewed our Policy and external areas are not required in legislation. It's more a policy determination for the organisation. We enable site managers to determine if designated areas are required, at a safe distance to avoid drift smoke. This is supported with access to smoking cessation information so that eventually these areas are no longer required at all.
  • HS Reps - Allowance / Payment for services
    MoJ don't make a payment to our HSR's. We do, however, hold HSR conferences annually to provide an opportunity for our reps to network, strengthen contacts and receive some form of training that they identify as being useful. We have also timed our award presentations at the Conference to happen the day prior to the GHSL Conference so the winners are provided with a further chance to enhance their awareness of H&S practice. Unfortunately, this year's conference was cancelled due to the pandemic.
