Hi,

I am looking at producing a safety newsletter for my department. The department is I.T and covers helpdesks, engineers and office based staff. I have the following subjects for inclusion in the first edition:
1. introduction- to me and what the magazine will be used for
2. stats for H&S - accidents, H&S training and performance on the companies safety management system
3. Q&A any safety related questions and answers
4. Accident/near miss guidance
5. Staff roles and responsibilities

What I need is some more subjects which I can include to add more information to the newsletter. Any assistance will be gratefully accepted.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Glen

How about a couple of features on IT related work with safety implications?

Manual handling of heavier shared printer units and photocopiers,
Driving implications for anyone going between sites with equipment,
Office safety - storage at height, good housekeeping,
Safe disposal of used or faulty electrical/ laser items,
COSHH information on toners used etc.,
Training requirements within the department on safety related issues.
PAT testing requirements for supplied equipment.

How about a simple question and answer section where the readership ask safety questions about their work and work areas?

How about a few things to make it more fun/interesting? Like a quiz or wordsearch? You could have myth of the month like the HSE website or a prize for the best suggestion/safety campaign...You could do a small section on who are the 1st aiders and fire wardens with pictures so that staff know who to look out for...ummmm that's all I can think of off the top of my head!
