Safety Network Newsletter issue 2
Issue 2 of the Safety Network Newsletter delved into the subject of action-oriented safety, which was a key recommendation from the Health and Safety Review.
This followed on from the Safety Executive Group approving a guidance note (SEG GN04) that set out actions to be taken by all staff, by managers/supervisors, and by health and safety officers providing safety advice, training and support.
