Bumps and bruises are a part of growing up and it is important that safety measures do not restrict children in challenging themselves. RoSPA Play Safety offer a range of services to help ensure play areas are as safe as necessary – not as safe as possible, including:

Do you have NEBOSH National General Certificate exams coming up? Feeling anxious? RoSPA can help!

The NEBOSH National General Certificate provides the confidence that comes from operating from an informed base and is one of the best-regarded foundations in health and safety. After all your hard work in studying for the certificate, give yourself the best possible chance of getting a great result by attending RoSPA’s three day revision courses.

A day and a half is spent concentrating on paper A1, and the other day and a half is spent revising paper A2. They are an opportunity to refresh your knowledge and to practice exam techniques, and attendance is highly recommended by both RoSPA and NEBOSH.

It doesn’t matter where you took the course originally – RoSPA’s revision courses are open to everyone taking the National General Certification examinations.

The RoSPA Health and Safety Review provides independent guidance for managers with responsibility for health and safety. Developed principally for small businesses, the review is also relevant to larger companies whose safety management systems are not sufficiently developed to justify the application of a full Safety Management System Audit.

A RoSPA consultant will assess the health and safety issues faced by your organisation, evaluate how well your present processes are meeting those needs, and report back in detail on the findings. In particular, we will highlight how you are managing risks in specific areas of your business. The review will then make recommendations about how best to proceed, including specific advice on how to develop and implement a safety action plan.

To discuss your HSR requirements call now on 0121 248 2076 or email consultancy@rospa.com

Would you like to save up to £250 per vehicle on fuel consumption?

Research by Fleet News has shown that driver training can realistically help achieve these massive savings. With fuel prices rising all the time, eco-driving has become more important than ever and will continue to grow in importance with prices set to increase steadily in the future

RoSPA’s NEW Eco Driving Course is a perfect blend of driver development training with a focus on achieving optimum fuel economy. The driver development content will ensure delegates have a firm understanding of the principles of defensive driving, enhanced driving skills and reduced crash risk. While the eco driving focus will result in reduced fuel bills for your organisation and help you make a positive difference to the environment.

At RoSPA we know that the effects of musculoskeletal injury due to people handling can be long lasting, often resulting in significant time off work and at worst costly compensation claims.

Hoists play an increasingly central role in the safe moving and handling of patients and clients. Coupled with the growing complexity and diversity of hoists, this means that adequate training is now more important than ever.

RoSPA’s one-day Hoist Course offers the opportunity to devote a full day to the theory and practice of the safe use of hoists in our unique and fully equipped People Care Centre.

The home should provide a safe environment, a place where people of all ages can enjoy a relaxed and happy time. However, thousands are killed or seriously injured in the environment in which they should feel most safe. Taking place on 11th and 12th November in Blackpool, RoSPA’s National Home Safety Congress will explore a range of solutions aimed at achieving the right balance between complacency and paranoia.

Titled ‘Regulating for Home Safety’, the programme boasts an extensive range of speakers from both local and national organisations with representatives from the Department of Health, NICE, Department for Children Schools and Families and West Midlands Fire Service to name but a few

At this year’s congress you will be able to network with the people who are shaping the future of home safety. Speakers present will include national policy makers, inventors and designers, data researchers and enforcers.

The event aims to discuss strategies and solutions, to share successes and to encourage more people to take up the challenge of reducing injuries sustained at home.
