November 2008

By Ian Hannah
SQMC Director of Programmes

Last year in Great Britain, according to provisional figures of work-related fatal injuries in Great Britain issued by the Health and Safety Executive (30 July 2008), 228 workers lost their lives as a result of a workplace accident. A further 28,000 workers suffered major injuries in the form of broken limbs, amputations and serious burns. Over 2 million people have illnesses that were either caused or made worse by work.

That’s 35 million working days lost.

Anyone responsible for Health & Safety should be the first to learn about new standards in Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) to protect their employees, and to protect their company. SQMC offer in-house OH&S courses on Internal Auditing, plus an Introductory Workshop on OHSAS 18001:2007, as well as public courses. Contact us for details (admin@SQMC.co.uk).

ISO 9001:2008!

It’s almost here! By the end November we expect that the revised Standard will be published. We are pleased to announce that the remaining QMS courses in November and December will be to the ‘new’ Standard. Also, we have planned a series of half-day Workshops throughout the country, starting in December, called “ISO9001 Update” to ease the transition from 2000 to 2008. Call us for details of these Workshops.
