The HSE has launched proposals to improve how businesses manage asbestos, and they’re asking for feedback from employers, contractors, and safety professionals.

Key changes being proposed:
• Making all roles in the 4-stage clearance process independent
• Improving the quality of asbestos surveys
• Clarifying what counts as Notifiable Non-Licensed Work

If you manage buildings, facilities, or workplace safety, this is a chance to have your say.

Sally, our OH Adviser, has just finished decorating the office tree - and while it's looking very festive, it's also the perfect reminder to tick off a few seasonal safety checks:

✅ Are your Christmas lights PAT tested?
✅ Any damage on cables? (If yes, retire them, don’t tape them!)
✅ Don’t overload extension leads — we know it’s tempting
✅ Candles? Our Fire Risk Assessor won’t even look at them
✅ Power down anything that doesn’t need to stay on over Xmas
✅ Check all windows and doors are locked before close-down
✅ Keep wrapping paper and boxes away from heaters and exit routes
✅ No tinsel near heaters — it’s sparkly, not safe
✅ Watch out for ice or slippery leaves outside

A few quick checks now = a peaceful, drama-free Xmas break 🎄

Workplace Health & Safety: Latest figures from the HSE are out

📊 1.9 million workers faced work-related ill health in 2024/25
😟 Nearly 1 million cases of stress, depression, or anxiety linked to work
💸 £22.9 billion cost to the economy
⏳ 40.1 million working days lost

Mental health is now the biggest workplace challenge.

What can employers do?

✅ Review stress risk assessments
✅ Train managers to spot early signs of burnout
✅ Invest in preventative measures like ergonomic checks and mental health resources

Great Britain remains one of the safest places to work - but the figures show we can't be complacent. What's your workplace doing to support mental health?

From October 2025, catastrophic bleed control is being introduced into First Aid at Work (FAW) training - including improvised tourniquets and wound-packing techniques.

It's an important step in giving first aiders the confidence to act when every second counts.

See our website - https://safewell.co.uk/catastrophic-bleeding-update-for-faw-training - for a summary of the key points and what businesses may need to consider.

We're very pleased to be sponsoring Santa's Grotto again this year at the Royal Wootton Bassett Christmas Festival, Friday 28th November from 5.30pm. 🎅✨

We love being a part of this magical evening. It's got everything you need to feel really Christmassy - twinkling lights, mince pies and mulled wine, carol singing, street entertainers, and local businesses and market stalls for gift shopping.

We hope to see some of you there. 🎄

Did you know that defibrillator pads have expiry dates?

We've just ordered replacements for ours to ensure it's always ready to help if someone in our community needs it.

We've also registered our defibrillator on The Circuit, a national defib database, so the emergency services can direct 999 callers to its location. The Circuit also sends us timely reminders when pads need replacing and the equipment testing.

Got a defibrillator at your workplace or club? Make sure you check the pads and batteries.

Today marks one year since the passing of our former MD, Nick Evans. Our team have spent the day together informally, sharing stories and remembering Nick’s life and legacy.

Nick was an amazing leader, liked and respected by everyone who worked with him. His commitment to the world of occupational health and safety - to giving common-sense, jargon-free advice - continues to guide our company. We are thinking of Nick’s family today, also, and sending them our warmest thoughts.

We continue to remember Nick every day as a fantastic mentor, colleague and friend. Forever missed ❤️🕊️

We grabbed the opportunity for a group picture during our off-site meeting at Bowman House last week. Great to get everyone together outside the office for a change.

🔥Seasonal Fire Safety Reminder from our trainer and fire risk assessor, Butch 🔥

As the colder weather is starting to set in, don't forget to get your business heating system serviced by a competent engineer. Not only will it keep everyone warm, but it also helps ensure your workplace is safe and not at risk of fire.

Attached are some pics from today's Fire Marshal training at Safewell.
