Welcome to Issue 7.
A shorter issue this month focussing on lifting and lowering activities, our legal obligations and
best practice. It also includes a reminder about not sharing safety critical equipment with other
trades.
Safety Bulletin Issue 7 PDF. Thanks for taking the time to read this bulletin.
Josh chapman has joined the team at the end of last year from New Zealand! Josh is a time served electrician so he knows his way around a 230v electrical installation already. However, installations and standards in the UK and New Zealand are quite different so here’s how you can help get Josh off to a good start with us:
- Support: josh’s direct supervisor is dale but we can all be a helpful point of contact. If you’re on a job with Josh for the first time, introduce yourself and offer any help if needed.
- Don’t assume, explain: We have all been new to this before so always be supportive and answer any questions Josh has. If you don’t know you can always contact your supervisor or put a message in the group.
- Take the time: We can all be under pressure at times but if you can make a special effort to take a few extra minutes when going through things for the first time it will make Josh’s transition to our systems much easier.
And remember to listen too, Josh is already an electrician so he will definitely have some good ideas! – Welcome to the team, Josh.
Thank you once again for taking the time to read our health and safety bulletin issue 7. There has been lots of progress made last month but we still have a long way to go as we improve systems and make John Noble a leader in health and safety. I personally appreciate everyone’s involvement and commitment. Any questions, feel free to send me a message!
Simon Mitchell, Health and Safety
