TExT, Regulations, and Legislation - An Introduction to LEV Compliance on Site

Hazards on site don’t just affect your health now, they affect your long-term health as well. In this course, you will learn about the Capture, Contain, Control methodology and see how it can be applied to a range of health hazards onsite, such as dust, noise and fumes. Learn how to improve and protect your surrounding environment by capturing hazards at their source, containing them effectively, and controlling them. Learn the shocking health statistics that makes this methodology necessary and see how it can be employed on site with compliant products based on current best practice.

In this presentation, you will learn the importance of environmental monitoring on site and the management and mitigation of hazards. You will learn why detecting hazardous dust, noise, and vibration is essential, and the details of vital documentation such as Section 61 Applications and CEMPs. Rigorous site hazard assessments and monitoring strategy planning as outlined by the Institute of Air Quality Management (IAQM) will also be covered. We will then examine how the use of environmental monitoring equipment and proof of safe levels can boost compliance and introduce effective monitoring solutions that are available based on current best practice.

In this presentation, see the extensive impact that poor fume control can have on your long-term health. With specific focuses on welding, solvent and exhaust fumes, learn about the shocking figures released by the HSE and the devastating effects of fume exposure can. We explain how fumes can be controlled effectively with the Capture, Contain, Control methodology and give examples of available and compliant fume control equipment based on current best practice.

In this presentation you will learn the extensive impact that poor hazard control can have on employees, patients, customers and visitors during maintenance, construction or renovation works. Through a number of example scenarios based on different live settings and challenges you will learn how hazards such as noise, dust and fume can be managed by the Capture, Contain, Control methodology. We will also provide examples of the available and compliant hazard control solutions based on current best practice that ensure functionality, comfort, safety and efficiency, keeping those within live facilities comfortable and - most importantly - safe.

In this presentation, you will learn the extensive impact poor hazard control can have when working in industrial environments, such as power stations, oil and gas refineries, waste to energy plants, manufacturing plants and sensitive manufacturing facilities. Through the use of typical industrial scenarios and real-life case studies, we will outline how hazards such as noise, dust and fume can be contained by the Capture, Contain, Control® methodology. We will also provide examples of available and compliant hazard control solutions based on current best practice that will help to ensure functionality, safety and efficiency is preserved when working in industrial environments.

In this presentation, you will learn the importance of controlling site hazards, such as dust, noise and fume, as well as the value of environmental monitoring and effective heating. We will discuss the legal requirements of hazard control, as well as our ethical obligation to protect site operatives. The innovative Capture, Contain, Control “3Cs®” methodology will be introduced and its application shown, avoiding the “one size fits all”, box ticking approach. We will also look at hazard control through ventilation and the effective drying triangle. Examples of compliant hazard control solutions based on current best practice will also be explored.

In this presentation, you will learn about the extensive impact poor noise control can have on your long-term health. You will learn the shocking statistics related to poor noise control, the science behind occupational damage to your hearing, and experience what living with occupational hearing loss is like through an audio demonstration. We go onto explain how this damage can be prevented, we show how noise can be controlled effectively with the Capture, Contain, Control methodology and give examples of available and compliant noise control equipment based on current best practice.

When carrying out construction work the main contractor or landowner is responsible for any water that is to be moved or discharged from site. This presentation introduces the importance of water management, the regulations in place and how we can achieve effective treatment minimising environmental impact. You will learn the hierarchy of control as well as the most common water pollutants from site run off and the effects that these have on the environment. You will also be introduced to trade effluent licencing, the types of solutions available based on current best practice and learn the serious consequences of non-compliance.

Although the HSE have reported a reduction in injuries to construction and industrial workers on site in recent years, occupational health issues remain prevalent across the sector. In this presentation, you will learn the importance of developing a health-conscious culture on site. We will discuss the definition of occupational hygiene, how the Hierarchy of Control can be used correctly and effectively, and the psychology behind behavioural decisions. We will also take you through the MIM Model, the Swiss Cheese Model and recommend tangible actions that you can put in place to promote a health-conscious culture on your site.

It has long been known that the process of welding and the inhalation of welding fume can lead to a range of adverse health effects. However, alarming new medical findings prove that exposure to welding fume is in fact far more dangerous than previously thought, and research now shows that exposure can cause lung cancer, and possibly kidney cancer.

A brief introduction to effective dust control on construction sites, including an explanation of the hazard control principles, Capture, Contain and Control. HSE Statistics are used to educate delegates about the risks on site, and case studies are used to illustrate best practice for dust control.

During construction, maintenance, and renovation work at live hospitals, it is essential that a clean and safe environment is maintained. This presentation introduces the Capture, Contain, Control "3C's" methodology and explains how it can be applied to airborne health hazards in the healthcare environment. The learning objectives of this session are, Understand how to capture, contain and control hazards effectively, improving and protecting the site environment. Understand a breakdown of the Health Building Note 00-09 and the importance of infection prevention and control in the built environment. Understand the hazard solutions available based on current best practice.

During this presentation,you will learn the negative impact that no heating or a poor drying-out programme can have on a construction project,and how to avoid severe project delays and financial losses. We will also touch upon the negative impact on morale,productivity,and the health of site workers. We will explore the different heating solutions available and discuss a real-life case study where an insufficient drying-out programme threatened the work completed on a new build project. Ultimately,attendees will learn how to implement an effective drying-out programme which will save them money and keep everyone on site safe and healthy.
