International SOS hosted event on international travel safety for Universities.
By Andrew Knight, University Safety Adviser, University of Brighton
Summary
Overall the event was useful and provided an insight into some of the emerging safety management issues related to overseas travel safety.
I attended as a representative of the USHA Special Interest Group on Safety and Fieldwork. I wanted to learn more about how companies such as SOS were able to assist Universities with overseas travel and to learn more about possible solutions to the challenges facing both UK and US institutions.

HSE LEV Trainer Adviser Briefing Day
By Andrew Knight, University Safety Adviser, University of Brighton
I was fortunate to book the last available place on the last available briefing of this session in the UK. This is an almost identical version of the briefing which has been delivered to 400 HSE Inspectors from all over the UK. The course provides a general overview of the main requirements of the new ‘HSG258 Controlling airborne contaminants at work: a guide to local exhaust ventilation’ and is aimed at LEV specifiers, designers, installers, trainers and advisers. The speakers emphasised that the session was not a training course and was more about raising awareness of the new guidance requirements.

Committee of University Chairs (CUC) launches new document ‘Guide for Members of Governing Bodies in Higher Education in the UK’ |
|
"The long awaited revision of Hefce 2004/40 has finally come out (see link below). The guidance includes my last parting shots when at UCEA on the role of Governing Bodies in H&S. It includes reference to the UCEA 'leading in H&S' along with other key principles for Governing bodies. Hopefully you find this of use and certainly more informative than the last version." Clive Parkinson, Director of Health and Safety at University of Surrey
