Safety alerts

One real incident a week

Every Monday we take a workplace incident reported by the UK Health and Safety Executive and turn it into a five-slide briefing: what happened, the hazards, the risks, what went wrong and how it should have been controlled. On the first of each month a debrief pulls the lessons together. Each briefing is posted in the forum for discussion and can be downloaded as PowerPoint for a toolbox talk.

Briefings are short summaries of public HSE press releases, limited to the facts in each release; always read the source. People are never named. They are for learning, not legal advice.
