The Team! I sponsor a hole at Pirongia Golf Club, which means we get to tee it up each year at the annual Sponsors’ Competition Day.

Here’s the team! We may not have taken home the trophy, but we certainly won the fun stakes. Plenty of laughs, good company and a great day out on the course! 🤣 From the left. Lynette (my wife) Les, Isabel and Bob

A Risk Register is one of the most important health and safety documents a business can have. It identifies the hazards in your workplace, assesses the level of risk, and records the controls you've put in place to keep your staff and visitors safe.

It's not about creating paperwork for the sake of it. A good Risk Register helps you:

• Identify hazards before they cause harm.
• Reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries.
• Meet your legal obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
• Demonstrate due diligence if WorkSafe ever visits.
• Create a safer workplace for everyone.

Remember, a Risk Register isn't a document you prepare once and forget. It should be reviewed regularly and updated whenever new equipment, processes or hazards are introduced.

A practical, up-to-date Risk Register is one of the simplest ways to improve workplace safety. www.healthandsafetysolutions.net Bob Sinclair 0274597296

🔧 **IS YOUR WORKSHOP SAFE? A SIMPLE RISK ASSESSMENT GUIDE**

Regular risk assessments are one of the easiest ways to prevent injuries and create a safer workplace.

Here are five simple steps:

✅ Identify the hazards.

✅ Decide who could be harmed.

✅ Assess the level of risk.

✅ Put effective controls in place.

✅ Review the assessment regularly.

Common workshop hazards include:

• Machinery and moving parts

• Electrical equipment

• Hazardous substances

• Slips, trips and falls

• Dust, noise and fumes

• Manual handling

• Vehicle movements

A safe workplace starts with identifying risks before they become incidents.

Many builders are excellent tradespeople but struggle to keep up with the increasing health and safety requirements placed on small businesses.

A good health and safety plan doesn't need to be complicated. It simply needs to be practical, easy to understand and suited to the work you do every day.

A builder's health and safety plan should include:

✔ Risk register

✔ Site induction procedures

✔ Hazardous substances register

✔ PPE schedule

✔ Incident reporting procedures

✔ Emergency procedures

✔ Equipment maintenance records

✔ Contractor management procedures

I recently acquired an older vehicle that needs a bit of work. Thought I would start with the mags. They have come up well. Sanded, undercoated. then silver mag wheel spray. If you are going to do the same as the pics, its important to clean the tyre with grease remover, or similar. Otherwise the masking tape will not stick well to the rubber.
