Welcome to the Safety Zone, Phoenix Safety's monthly newsletter
The Killer Handbag?

It's something that just about every woman owns.  While we may know what's inside our handbags, do we have any idea what's on the outside?  This is one for the ladies …

                                  

Early Decisions Save Lives

Construction is a high risk industry.  Last year 23 people were killed and a further 12,000 people were injured on construction sites in Ireland.  Under the new construction regulations safety on site is now everybody's business.  The onus is on designers, clients, construction companies and employees to ensure they are aware of their responsibilities in relation to health and safety.

Q&A section with Paul Tierney  

Hi, 
We would normally have 2 people working at night - office based employment. The other night 1 rang in sick and so we had only 1 employee on - too late to arrange a replacement. The other employee therefore was working alone, and he now has come to us saying that this is illegal.  Our building is very highly secured and there is always 24 hr security. Can you please advice?

Many thanks, Paula

                                        
 

Hi,
We have a production area in which we exceed the 2nd action level of the noise regs. The operators in this area want to purchase ear defenders with a built-in speaker. These ear defenders have a 5-ft coiled cord for plugging into a CD player, walkman or AM/FM radio etc. The volume control limits the sound produced inside the headset to 85db.  The operators in this area work a 12 hour shift.  I would like to know if it acceptable to use these ear defenders or should the 85db limit be lower.  I would appreciate your help on this matter.

Regards,
Michael
