Safety First

Welcome to kay-consulting.co.uk website.

Driving is, without doubt, the most dangerous work-related activity performed by most people in the UK.

It is estimated that between 25% and 33% of road traffic collisions involve somebody who was using the road for work purposes. This suggests that in the UK alone between 556 and 721 people were killed and between 6,200 and 8,200 were seriously injured, in work-related road collisions in 2009.

Organisations need to have a clear understanding of the risks involved when employees are driving for work-related purposes and ensure that they extend the arrangements which they should already have in place to deal with other aspects of health and safety to road safety performance.

At kay-consulting.co.uk our services includes information and guidance on occupational road risk, accident investigation, collision investigation, driver behaviour, collision reduction, accident reduction, road risk specialist, corporate responsibilities, accident management, collision management, driver PPE, driver profiling, driver risk assessments.

But remember, managing occupational road risk is NOT just driver training . . .

Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995
(RIDDOR) Change - 6 April 2012
From 6 April 2012 subject to Parliamentary approval, RIDDOR’s over three day injury reporting requirement will change. From then the trigger point will increase from over three days to over seven days incapacitation
(not counting the day on which the accident happened).
Incapacitation means that the worker is absent or is unable to do work that they would reasonably be expected to do so as part of their normal work.
Employers and others with responsibilities under RIDDOR must still keep a record of all over three day injuries
if the employer has to keep an accident book, then this record will be enough.
The deadline by which the over seven day injury must be reported will increase to 15 days from the day
of the accident.
New guidance that explains the change will be available to download from the HSE website
on January 2012.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION
A new survey has revealed that more than a million UK employees are sleep deprived to the point where a lack of sleep affects their ability to the same extent as alcohol.
A survey of 39,000 workers showed that one in three (approx 100 million European working adults) suffer from ‘poor sleep’. These people are ‘living in danger of a semi-conscious existence equal to repeatedly driving their car well over the alcohol limit.’
35% of women have poor sleep compared to 31% of men, with depression having a direct link to poor sleep.
Those working a five-day week were found to generally have better sleep than those working more or less than five days.
Tony Massey, Vielife’s Chief Medical Officer, said: ‘Being ‘sleep drunk’ is a common issue that causes personal and work life issues and a healthy lifestyle is at the heart of solving it.’
The data is based on ‘sleep scores’ recorded by users of vielife’s online health and wellbeing platform. A sleep score indicates the overall quality and satisfaction of a person’s sleep as part of a wider ‘wellbeing score’ used to help identify and work to improve their health issues.
