Edwin (Ed) Friend -
In Memoriam
It is with great sadness that we report the death of Ed
Friend, a long‐time Association Member and stalwart. Ed fought bravely against a leukaemia related illness
for a long time but his interest in the wellbeing of
BHSEA and his wise counsel continued throughout.His membership and involvement with the Association
goes back to his early days as a Factory Inspector in the
Birmingham area, having moved from South Wales. Ed served as Association Chairman in 2010/11 and
more recently was instrumental in the vital process of
disposing of under‐utilised assets and getting the
Association onto a more secure financial footing.Ed did so much for the Association and his passion,
enthusiasm, humour and wit was widely recognised
and appreciated.His many anecdotes were always entertaining and
often amusing but usually with an important message.He will be missed and fondly remembered by so many.

Lead and LagLinda Ley, Health & Safety Manager, Unipart
Logistics
Key Points:Companies can become complacent if internal reports consistently
show no incidents or
accidents have occurred. There could in fact be near misses which no one has considered reporting.Keeping a record of Lead and Lag data can help to identify areas
of potential concern.Lead indicators are pro‐active and preventative actions ‐
easy to influence, hard to measure,
eg
safety briefings, behavioural observations.Lag indicators are re‐active actions – easy to measure, hard to influence, eg
over 3 day
incidents, minor injuries – no time lost.A points system is useful for recording both Lead and Lag data over a set period of time.It is important to thoroughly investigate any health and safety
incidents/accidents.The Fishbone Investigation Tool is an excellent method for getting to the root cause – it can
look at the Man, Machine, Material and Method ‐
eg
is the man properly trained and fit, has
the machine been properly serviced, are the materials in good condition, is the method
appropriate to the task and being properly followed.During your investigation don’t just look at what has been done wrong; look at what has
been done correctly, take statements and check records.
May 2018Birmingham Health, Safety & Environment Association BHSEAMachinery Safety 1 – Risk Management in Manufacturing
Kanwal Kanda, HM Principal Inspector, Field Operations, HSE
Key Points:The manufacturing sector represents around 9% of the GB workforce ‐
some 3 million people.It covers a diverse range of industry, eg
motor vehicle repair, woodworking, metal fabrication,
shipbuilding, aerospace ‐
some large employers but mostly SMEs.20% of all workplace fatalities occur within manufacturing and,
on average, 27 workers are
killed each year. There were 600,000 non‐fatal injuries in GB in 2016/17 ‐
44,000 of which
resulted from contact with moving machinery.The sector continues to be a priority for HSE – there is much room for improvement.Improvement is required in management systems and Risk Assessment (RA). RAs are
sometimes too narrow in approach and often produced by someone not acquainted with the
actual process rather than someone who is trained and competent.The RA should be a dynamic process, not one‐time‐only, and suitable and sufficient. It should
consider the task, location, how the job is actually done, risk control/guarding and cover
setting, operation, maintenance and cleaning.The new sentencing guidelines will be applied by the courts to assess culpability of those failing
in their duty to devise and implement effective systems to control risk and comply with the
law –
culpability is graded from Very High (deliberate breach of the law) to Low (minor
failing/isolated incident).Two case studies highlight the need to prevent access to dangerous and moving parts where
practicable.
May 2018Birmingham Health, Safety & Environment Association BHSEAMachinery Safety 2
Anthony Bowmer, HSS Consultant, EEF
Key Points:
The definition of workplace equipment is ‘any machinery, appliance, apparatus, tool or
installation for use at work’
‐
anything from simple hand or power tools to large pieces of
equipment or a complex production line.
It is vital to conduct a Risk Assessment in conjunction with the
people actually using the
equipment on a day‐to‐day basis –
ie
competent persons with the ability to operate, run and
maintain the equipment.
Ask the workforce for their opinions on what could go wrong and
how best to control the
risks.
Anthony’s presentation slides illustrate typical machine shop equipment
and invite you to
identify the most likely types of injury for each.

These included:•Failure to implement safe isolation procedures;•Failure to provide lock off devices and testing equipment referred to in the employer’s own method statement;•Failure to document changes to wiring plans and to ensure testing procedures were carried out;•Failure to ensure risk assessments were updated; and•Failure to ensure the effective management and supervision of health and safety.Michael's employer was found guilty of health and safety offences and fined £300,000. However, this provides little in the way of justice and nothing in the way of comfort for Michael's family. Telling his story will help ensure a lasting legacy from his untimely, unnecessary and entirely preventable death.
Michael Adamson was an experienced spark, who died on 4 August 2005 as the result of an electrical incident. He was only 26 years old and was engaged to be married. Like so many work-related deaths, it was an incident which could and should have been prevented. Motivated by the need to stop this from happening to others, Michael's story is told by his sister Louise.She talks through the catalogue of errors in health and safety management - any one of which would have been serious enough on its own – which accumulated to prove fatal.
