Linde’s heavy duty lift
A Linde heavy duty forklift ensured a smooth lift for the team rebuilding a very special engine for the historic Deltic Diesel locomotive 'Royal Scots Grey'.

Culture is key to workplace H&S says British Safety Council
“There is a danger that everyday rules, regulations and warnings about health and safety can end up as ‘safety wallpaper’,” said Shaun Davis, group director of safety, health & environment at Rok plc at a recebnt conference organised by occupational health and safety organisation the British Safety Council (BSC).
BSC, concerned about the contribution of unsafe behaviour and poor culture to workplace accidents, launched a review examining the benefits to organisations of creating and maintaining a positive safety culture. The report, called Engaging with Safety Culture: a review of current thinking and practice, was published recently and examines the role of safety culture. It puts forward a new model for effective interventions that can influence people’s behaviour.

RoSPA calls for overhaul
A significant reduction in needless harm and easily preventable suffering would result if the UK's health and safety system underwent a radical overhaul, the RoSPA has told a Health and Safety Executive consultation.
The safety charity says it is time for the HSE to develop a new dynamic between its work and the wider health and safety market, linking its activities much more closely to the hard work of the thousands of professionals who help to ensure effective risk management in the workplace.
