Machin & Toplass
Blog bits:
We are receiving an increase in bedbugs problems, due to people travelling more in their work and socially.
Ring to discuss any problems you may have, remember this is not an indication of cleanliness of your home or personnel hygiene.
Paul Toplass - 22nd March 2011
From 6 April 2012, subject to Parliamentary approval, RIDDOR's over three day injury reporting requirement will change. From then the trigger point will increase from over three days' to over seven days' incapacitation (not counting the day on which the accident happened).
Incapacitation means that the worker is absent or is unable to do work that they would reasonably be expected to do as part of their normal work.
Employers and others with responsibilities under RIDDOR must still keep a record of all over three day injuries - if the employer has to keep an accident book, then this record will be enough.
The deadline by which the over seven day injury must be reported will increase to 15 days from the day of the accident.
If you need any help or advice about health & safety issues then please ring me on 07976 366510.

Food Hygiene TrainingDo you think the law and with it the goal posts are constantly changing?
Most businesses do not deliberately break the law. Most fall foul due to:
 a lack of knowledge
having other business priorities
just being unaware
Helping you comply with the law is only one part of our business. Our strength is balancing your business priorities with practical solutions for compliance with the law that works. We are not auditors that just tell you ‘what’s wrong’; we also help you put it right.
By working together in this way, we aim to give you time to make your business more successful.
