Team away day - Focus on 2012
The Safety Team met off site for a discussion on the challenges of the year ahead. This proved to be an extremely interesting and useful session. It allowed the Team to be more fully involved in the running of the business and in the process of considering how next year will shape up for us. We even managed to fit in a session of using Fire Extinguishers (carried out by our in house Senior Fire Safety Consultant). We have even filmed this to provide some YouTube footage, to be uploaded shortly.
Many ideas and approaches were raised by the team. These have been captured and a précis of the meeting notes is to be circulated on Monday, with actions and individuals responsible for them clearly identified. I am convinced that we are focussed on 2012 and that we will be able to progress the business in the New Year!
Wednesday's training course went really well. Hagrid did a great job of working the delegates hard and ensuring that they left enthused to achieve. I wonder how contact back with reality has hit them this morning!
For my part, the site visits at the start of the week went without any hitches and the reports have been sent onto the clients for them to action, as appropriate. The Networking session on Tuesday morning was excellent and that group is destined for great things (in my opinion).
Testimonial from a course delegate:
The issue of Health & Safety can be seen to be an obstacle to be overcome rather than an opportunity to be taken. Mike Ellerby and Peter Phillips dispel the myths of Health & Safety and replace them with commonsense. Like it or not, we all have to deal with Health & Safety. Mike and his team will save you time, angst and potentially significant sums of money should you get your Health & Safety wrong.
I recently attended the Level 2 Health & Safety in the Workplace course at (run by Mike Ellerby and Peter Phillips). The course was interesting with lot's of interaction in very comfortable surroundings, the trainer was very knowledgable re all aspects of H & S in the work place and I came away feeling more confident in my role as Health & Safety office within my work place. I would like to thank (Mike and Peter) and I look forward to working with them in the future.

I can't say that I particularly enjoyed the drive down to Lymington today, but it was reasonably hassle free.
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel (booked on Late Rooms) and by the balcony overlooking the High Street. The Christmas tree on the balcony was a nice touch. The food (enjoyed from a window table while creating this blog) was pleasant and I enjoyed a Peroni with it.
Tomorrow starts with an early start on Lymington High Street (mainly to carry out an Accessibility Audit) and a then short drive over to Salisbury to look at the common areas of an Industrial Estate.
I'm looking forward to the Networking meeting early on Tuesday morning. There are some excellent relationships being built at that club.
On Wednesday we are running a training course in our offices and on Thursday meeting with three potential new clients.
Friday is an "away day" for the Safety Team to discuss our focus for 2012. I have to admit that I'm looking forward to that.
