Introduction including overview of area inspected and activities taking place

This report follows an inspection of the building and yard located in ……. in order to meet the requirements of the Nebosh NGC 3 practical application.

The areas concerned with this inspection are the works building and one store in the yard and its immediate surrounding area.

The building consists of a canteen area, an office for admin duties, two toilets, a locker room, a drying/store room for personal protective equipment (PPE) and a small store room. In the yard is one store for the storage of various outdoor work materials and tools.

The premises are occupied by up to fifteen staff at any one time. Staff work on a rotation of day and night shifts and the building is used for messing, completing paper work and planning work.
The yard and store are used for loading and unloading vehicles with work equipment to prepare for railway work.

There were no members of staff on duty at the time of the inspection.

Executive Summary

Upon completion of the inspection I found there were several areas of concern which lead to breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA), the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRFSO), the Manual Handling Operations Regulations, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (MHSWR) and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER).

The health and safety of the employees who are using the premises may also be at risk if some of these concerns are not addressed immediately. Failure to address these issues may lead to attention and possible enforcement action from the HSE and/or the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR).

    As previously mentioned, a huge corporation like Cineplex is in their best interest to have programs like these incorporated in their company so that all requirements are answered. Working at SilverCity, managers and team leaders deal with many situations, they have the obligation to make sure that people are using protected gear like gloves when handling hot food or when cleaning specific areas like the fryer. Regulations are made towards the required equipment worn by the employees as well. Inspection programs are usually decided to ensure an investigation is periodically completed on a planned basis with the intent to identify unsafe conditions in the workplace. One of the types of inspection that can relate to the Cineplex’s inspection program is the unplanned informal inspection in which can be encouraged by training and education. As an employee were given specific training in hazardous areas, such as the areas around machines with cables running from behind even how to properly use the machine was a huge part of knowing the job as well. In an unplanned informal inspection the managers would keep records of hazards that were identified and responded to resolve the issues. We had safety checklists in each unit that had guidelines that we had to follow, we had to make sure we went over everything in the checklist by checking off everything and writing notes if there was a problem in that specific unit. Our manager was…

    The National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety has been offered since 1989 and, at the time of this examination, there were nearly 113,000 holders of the qualification. The NEBOSH Certificate is recognised by employers and regulators, both in the UK and internationally, as an extremely worthwhile qualification for those with health and safety responsibilities but who are not engaged professionally in health and safety. Such persons include managers, supervisors and employee representatives. The Certificate qualification demonstrates much more than a basic awareness of health and safety issues; it shows that those holding the qualification, while not deciding organisational policy, are able to make informed decisions and suggest improvements on a day-to-day basis (within the limits of their competence) such that those for whom they are responsible are not harmed by work activities.…
