Fall Arrest Block Inspections: Are You Paying Twice?

I caught up with Ross to discuss why some clients’ current examinations might not cover everything they expect, and how that can lead to paying twice.

Do you know what’s included in your inspection and what the report actually confirms?

Watch the clip for the conversation. If you’re unsure about your current arrangements, get in touch and we can help you understand what’s covered.

What If Managing Compliance Could Be Simpler?

That's one of the conversations that came out of our recent visit to Oldershaw Group.

Our team spent the day inspecting operations across two sites, reviewing risk assessments and discussing the business's future plans.

But what really caught our attention was their interest in where AW Safety is heading.

As we continue developing towards becoming a full compliance partner, Oldershaw Group are keen to follow our progress and explore the possibility of bringing more of their compliance requirements under one roof.

And that's exactly the direction we're working towards.

One trusted partner. Less complexity. Better visibility across compliance.

We recently caught up with Karl Vines, Area Manager at South Holland Drainage Board, who has been working with AW Safety for the past year.

Every business operates differently, and that's what makes our work interesting. Getting to know the people, understanding their day-to-day operations and finding practical ways to support them is a big part of what we do.

Is Your Designated Smoking Area Creating a Fire Risk?

It's easy to think that putting up a "Designated Smoking Area" sign is enough. But have you considered whether the area itself is actually safe?

Poorly located smoking areas, discarded cigarette ends and combustible materials nearby can all increase the risk of fire.

A few simple checks can make a real difference:

Location: Keep smoking areas away from combustible materials, waste storage and other potential fire hazards.

Signage: Clearly identify designated areas and communicate smoking restrictions.

Safe Disposal: Provide suitable cigarette bins and ensure smoking materials are fully extinguished.

Housekeeping: Regularly check for discarded cigarette ends and accumulated waste.

Fire Risk Assessment: Make sure smoking arrangements and associated risks are properly considered.

A designated smoking area isn't automatically a safe smoking area.

Good fire safety often comes down to the everyday details that are easily overlooked.

When was the last time you checked yours?

Your extraction system is running. But is it doing its job?

Dust and fumes can pose serious risks to your team’s health. Having Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) installed is only part of the picture, you need to know it’s working effectively.

At AW Safety, we help businesses arrange LEV testing, understand the findings and address any issues identified.

It’s another way we support our clients as their compliance partner, helping turn technical reports into practical action.

When a client needs help, being able to adapt quickly and get the right support in place makes a real difference.

Every time we deliver on that promise, we take another step towards becoming the UK’s most trusted compliance partner.

Big ambitions create opportunities.

Our goal to build the UK's most trusted compliance business will mean creating jobs, developing our people and giving talented individuals the chance to take on more responsibility.

As AW Safety grows, we want our team to grow with it, and bring new people into the business who want to be part of the journey.

There’s a lot of work ahead, but the opportunities we can create are a big part of what makes it worth doing.

First it nearly happened. A few days later, it did.
A welder turning a 133 kg steel section on his own suffered a life-changing hand injury, days after a near-identical incident. If a lift nearly goes wrong, that's your warning to stop and plan it.
What's the most awkward lift in your workplace?
We can help with manual handling risk assessments and training, including e-learning from £15. Call 0330 223 7470.
