Posted By Raymond Rapp Brookie Just in case you don't get a favourable response you might like to check out the HSE site: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg226.pdf It's a bit OTT but I'm sure you can cherry pick what you need and put a short presentation together. Ray

Posted By tmorton63 Hello Brookie, We have a link to a useful company called Live Action Media that does all sorts of video for health & safety. You can try them for materials. Their site is accessed via www.argyll.uk.com regards Tom

Posted By ipaterson We have a course we use for our home workers including a self assessment document which we use as one of the control methods in the risk assessment. I'd be happy to pass this to you if you get in touch direct. I know there's a way to do this on this forum but I don't know how. irene
