The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases, and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations.
Peter BennettGUEST
I don't know if I've said to you before, Gavin, but we're, we're at a little crossroads just now in the UK, and that is that we've, we've been pushing the HSE here for quite some time to improve the reporting system.
Peter BennettGUEST
So we've got, you've probably heard the RIDDOR, the Reporting of Incident Disease and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations.
Peter BennettGUEST
No doubt there's a similar thing in other countries, right?
Gavin CoyleHOST
Yeah.
Peter BennettGUEST
And it has long been our contention to HSE, listen, your RIDDOR reporting is close to useless.
Peter BennettGUEST
And the reason it's close to useless is because you keep asking people to tell what happened in free text.
Peter BennettGUEST
And what you find there is they tell you a wee story, and that wee story is very, very difficult to draw from.
Peter BennettGUEST
What's the essence of it? What's the cause? How do we compare that with all these other ones?
Mark JerramHOST
The chapter explores the difference between a hazard and a risk and how a farrier should identify hazards, consider who could be affected, evaluate the consequences, and introduce appropriate controls.
Mark JerramHOST
The discussion includes the responsibilities associated with professional farriery, including relevant legislation, COSHH, RIDDOR employer and employee responsibilities, personal protective equipment, forge safety, and the safe use and maintenance of tools and equipment.
Mark JerramHOST
The forge receives particular attention, including the hazards associated with heat, fire, gas, coal, coke, fumes, sparks, and hot metal.
Mark JerramHOST
The listener is encouraged to understand that simply knowing that a hazard exists is not enough.
