| Swine Flu |
 |
Swine flu, also known as Influenza H1N1, has recently been given the status of a Pandemic Level 6 by the World Health Organisation.
Swine flu viruses are usually carried by pigs and do not normally infect humans but occasionally the strain of the virus can mutate in a way that allows it to affect people.
A Pandemic Flu is one that spreads very quickly around the world and means that a large amount of people are at risk from it as tends to be very few individuals who will have a natural resistance to it...

| Driving For Work |
A recent report done by the Health & Safety Authority suggests that up to 100 people die every year in work related road collisions.
This figure is quite high and a further cause for concern for the HSA was that according to a survey they carried out in 2008, 42% of companies do not have a Driving for Work Policy as part of their Health and Safety Management System. This would suggest that there is a lack of awareness among employers regarding their staff driving for work.

Dear Paul,
Our company safety rep told me its a legal requirement to provide manufacturer’s manuals for all equipment in our plant. Is this true and can you tell me what legislation applies?
