Posted By Shane Johnston I have recently been promoted and now manage six site based safety advisers. Recognising that I can’t be an expert in everything I would like to give each adviser a topic speciality. I have some ideas in mind for topics, hazardous substances, transportation, lifting equipment, radiation etc, but would be grateful for any other general topics you could suggest.

Posted By Paul Oliver hi Shane, I don't know if your safety management system is up and running as we speak but a review of the policies and processess involved would be a good place to start. i've recently started a post where they had practically nothing in place and so i've been producing systems and training tools in the following areas: Sub Contractor Competence H&S Awareness / Compliance Pre-Start Checklists Pre-Tender Questionarres / Generic Answers Pre-Contract Questionarres Young Persons at Work: Identify people and work processess Method Statment reviews: Update British Standards references. Employee competence Management of asbestos / complilation of an asbestos register / surveys & Sampling. Fleet driver awareness. The list goes on and on and on, aswell as trying to get an audit programme of the groung, accompanied by site visits. just wish i had 6 advisors to work for me. Regards Paul

Posted By Allan St.John Holt Shane, I would put Management of Contractors high on the list as it's an area where what you don't know can bite you. Another one would be Risk Assessment - are the systems in use common? Then there's Audit - again for a common approach. There's a lot of benefit in basic uniformity across sites and I would make that principle sit at the centre of the assignment plan. Hope this helps, Allan
