Is it time to remove open blades from the workplace?Cutting tools are essential across almost every industry, but their everyday use also means the risks associated with them can easily become accepted as simply “part of the job”.But what is the true cost of workplace cutting? Every year, tens of thousands of blade and laceration injuries are reported across UK workplaces, with many more minor cuts never formally recorded. Estimates suggest more than 120,000 workers suffer cuts or lacerations annually, creating a significant hidden cost through lost working time, treatment, investigations, reduced productivity and disruption. The total cost to UK businesses has been estimated at more than £75 million each year.This webinar will explore how eliminating or substituting higher-risk cutting tools can help organisations reduce their exposure to blade injuries — without compromising the ability to get the job done.We will share findings from real workplace cutting applications and examine where open blades are still being used, why they are being used and, importantly, where safer alternatives can now take their place. From concealed blades and automatic blade-retraction technologies to smarter approaches to tool selection, we’ll explore how organisations can reduce their reliance on exposed blades and ask one simple question - how close could your workplace get to becoming open-blade free?

Exposure to Hand-Arm Vibration (HAVS) remains a serious risk in metalworking operations. This practical webinar combines regulatory guidance with real-world applications to help you confidently measure, manage, reduce and mitigate vibration exposure.
The webinar examines how effective vibration control can boost productivity, highlighting both the efficiency gains and improved price-to-performance benefits. It focuses on innovative abrasives that help reduce exposure without compromising output. Ideal for health & safety professionals, production managers and metalworking specialists seeking practical, actionable insights.
Andrew Hounslea, HM Specialist Inspector of Health and Safety (Noise and Vibration), Health and Safety Executive, will discuss the importance of controlling these risks to reduce exposure from his background as an inspector and using his industry experience.
Theo Simon, 3M Global Abrasives Application Engineer, will then demonstrate how to test for, record, and calculate vibration exposure on tools, ways to mitigate will be discussed using practical shop-floor examples.
There will also be the opportunity to put your questions directly to experts from 3M and the Health and Safety Executive.

Every day, hiring organisations rely on contractor assessments and prequalification audits to verify that contractors meet the standards required to work on site safely and compliantly. That process depends on documents such as insurance certificates, risk assessments, training records and competency evidence. But what happens when those documents aren't what they appear to be.If a fraudulent document entered your supply chain tomorrow, would your organisation spot it?Join this exclusive fireside chat with Ben Coak, Technical Standards Manager at SafeContractor and former HSE Inspector, as we explore the growing challenge of fraudulent contractor documentation and what it means for organisations responsible for contractor oversight. Between 2021 and 2025, SafeContractor identified an almost 400% increase in fraudulent documents submitted through its assessment process.As part of the session, attendees will take part in The Fraud Test, an interactive exercise based on anonymised real-world scenarios where pre-qualification documents have been purposely falsified. Through live audience polling, you'll be asked a simple question: Would you approve this contractor?Together, we'll examine a series of contractor documents, uncover the warning signs that were missed, and explore whether your current processes would identify the same risks.You'll learn:Why fraudulent contractor documentation is becoming harder to detectThe risks and liabilities fraudulent documents can create for hiring organisationsPractical ways to strengthen confidence in your contractor assurance processJoin us on 10 September at 10:30am to put your processes to the test and hear expert insight from the front line of contractor compliance.

It’s been 15 years since the Clean Air? Take Care! initiative was launched. The collaboration between the British Safety Industry Federation (BSiF), Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and leading industry stakeholders focuses on the reduction of occupational respiratory diseases by the education of employers, managers and employees on the correct selection, use, care and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment (RPE), as well as covering legal obligations. Following two years of detailed work by the BSiF Respiratory Special Interest Group, the significantly improved campaign will be relaunched on the 1st July. Please join us as part of the relaunch of this initiative where you will be guided through the updated topic areas with useful links to available resources.
