Postgraduate Safety Briefing
The Postgraduate Safety briefing can be downloaded via:
Part 1 - Engineering Safety background about H&S in Engineering, the recent incident involving BP and safety during design and build projects
Part 2 - Engineering Safety
including risk assessment, safe systems of work (SSOW) and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (and COSHH assessments) and general H&S information
Worked example - Scuba Diving - Getting to grips with what Risk Assessment is all about!
[Note that this has NOT been put together with anyone who has any knowledge around scuba diving, so do not use this as a real life example, it is just to demonstrate how to complete and the typical level of detail required in your safe system of work and risk assessment. This would normally be checked by someone who has some knowledge and experience in the activity before I would carry out the work and would be amended to take into consideration their comments based upon their additional knowledge (competence) in this field. Please apply this approach in your own project planning and discuss your ideas with your supervisors].
