🍂 Is your workplace ready for the change in weather?

September marks the start of autumn, bringing wetter weather, darker mornings and evenings, and eventually colder conditions. Now is a good time to review your health & safety arrangements before these seasonal changes create additional risks.

Consider the impact of wet floors and increased slip risks, particularly around entrances and walkways, as well as ensuring outdoor areas are kept clear and safe. It’s also important to consider whether employees working in colder conditions have suitable clothing and equipment to stay safe and comfortable.

Help prevent accidents and keep your workplace safe as the seasons change.

The training businesses need today might look very different in three years’ time. That’s one of the things we want to understand through our Health & Safety Skills Academy research.

Are your training requirements likely to increase as your team grows?
Are there practical courses you’d like to access closer to home?
Are there skills that are becoming more important within your industry?

We’re asking Norfolk businesses to tell us what they’re likely to need, not just now, but over the next few years.

Your feedback will help us understand whether there’s a genuine need for a dedicated practical Health & Safety training facility here in Norfolk and, importantly, what that facility would need to offer.

The survey only takes 2–3 minutes.

As a thank you, you’ll receive a copy of the findings and be entered into our draw to win £1,000 of Serene Safety training credits.

A worker sustained multiple back fractures, a punctured lung and broken leg while dismantling an internal steel frame. The incident occurred as a rachet strap was being used to lower a steel beam weighing over 100kg but it was not designed for lifting or lowering loads and failed. This caused the beam to fall onto a worker, who had raised concerns with the director about whether this method was safe.

HSE's investigation found that the dismantling work had not been properly planned or carried out safely.

The events company was fined ÂŁ12,000 and ordered to pay ÂŁ6,949 in costs. The company director received a community order with 75 hours of unpaid work to be completed.

This case highlights the serious consequences that can result when work isn't properly planned and safe systems aren't put in place.

For some Norfolk businesses, accessing training such as confined spaces or working at height can mean travelling outside the county. That means more time away from the workplace, more travel and potentially fewer options when you’re trying to get the right training booked.

We want to understand whether this is a genuine challenge for businesses across Norfolk.

It’s part of our research into the possibility of creating a dedicated Health & Safety Skills Academy in Norwich, with practical training facilities alongside our existing NEBOSH and IOSH courses.

If practical Health & Safety training is something your business uses, we’d love to know what your current experience looks like.

Our survey takes around 2–3 minutes to complete, and everyone who takes part will be entered into a draw to win £1,000 of Serene Safety training credits.

⚠️ The most expensive mistake you can make after a workplace incident

When an incident happens, it’s easy to focus on what went wrong in the moment, but asking “why did it happen?” is where the real learning begins.

A shallow investigation that only looks at the immediate cause can mean missing the underlying issues, increasing the risk of the same incident happening again.

Effective investigations help businesses identify root causes, improve processes and take action to prevent future incidents.

Read our latest blog to find out why looking beyond the immediate cause is essential when investigating workplace incidents:

We’re exploring something new here at Serene Safety, but before we take it any further, we want Norfolk businesses to have their say.

We’re looking at the possibility of creating a dedicated Health & Safety Skills Academy in Norwich, combining practical training facilities for areas such as confined spaces and working at height with the NEBOSH and IOSH training we already deliver.

Why? Because we know accessing practical Health & Safety training locally isn’t always easy. But rather than assume we know what businesses need, we’re asking.

Our short survey takes just 2–3 minutes and will help us understand what training Norfolk businesses use now, what’s difficult to access and what they’re likely to need in the future.

As a thank you for taking part:

✅ You’ll receive a copy of our Norfolk Workplace Training & Skills Insights Report

✅ You’ll be entered into a draw to win £1,000 of Serene Safety training credits

If you’re responsible for Health & Safety, training or developing your team, we’d really value your input.
