Ashgrove Health - First Aid Provider

Testimonial

I have just passed my two day refresher course in First Aid at Work. I used Ashgrove Health as my training provider. The course was well structured; detailed and easy to understand. The trainer (Steven Bruce) made a difficult course easy and enjoyable. I found their expertise in this subject was value added compared to Wallace and Cameron (who I had used in the past). I will definitely be using them again and would recommend them to my clients.

HSE Myth of the Month on Risk Assessments
The Myth: Risk assessments must always be long and complex

The HSE States “On its own, paperwork never saved anyone. It is a means to an end, not an end in itself - action is what protects people. So risk assessments should be fit for purpose and acted upon. OK, if you’re running an oil refinery you’re going to need a fair amount of paperwork. But for most, bullet points work very well indeed.” For more information go to

http://www.hse.gov.uk/myth/index.htm

Asbestos Financial costs
“A Northampton electrical contractor, a subcontracted Bedford asbestos removal firm and its managing director have been fined a total of £100,000 plus costs of £45,000 after asbestos was released into the air at a school in Kettering, forcing it to close for two terms. The work was not done under properly controlled conditions … essentially the tiles were just broken and thrown down all over the place.” The school was closed for two terms and 1000 pupils had to be relocated to temporary classrooms and sites around Kettering… costs £6.5 million” (article published in the Safety & Health Practitioner)

If you want an easy solution to a painfull problem, Kevin is your man."

e-mail anniversary

One e-mail, 70 recipients, +600,000 problems... Yes last year I sent out an e-mail that made local history. I was known for a short time as a serial spammer. All I did was send out one e-mail that ended up repeating every half minute. Recipients were logging on first thing in the morning and downloading over 600 messages just from me!! I was not a popular person!!

E-mail details:

"Good afternoon everyone, what a wonderful day!!

Please find attached my top ten tips for improving Health and Safety culture as supplied to the Northamptonshire Chamber.

Kind Regards
