  • Scissor Lift question
    Hi Shona,

    There a few things to consider with this.
    -The 'Best Practice Guidelines' that Chris mentioned
    - Risk assessment as mentioned by Gary
    - the manufacturer's instructions

    A scissor lift is the only EWP where you may not have to wear a harness, but this would be determined by a risk assessment and the manufacturer's instructions - there is no yes or no answer, but it is all stated in the BPG's.
  • Hazardous substances certifiers
    Has anyone got any experience/information on this process that they would be wiling to share? I am looking to become a Compliance Certifier for explosives, in a very small industry where there are currently only two others in this role.

    I've read the article above which certainly highlights a few challenges, so any advice on any part of the application process would be appreciated.
  • Advice re working at height training for H&S Manager
    I can help you if you have any questions around working at height/rescue.

    I teach working at height courses for a training establishment and provide rescue training to a couple of organisations. If you're looking for a training course, there are a few options around as Rebecca noted above.

    Definitely fire through any questions.
