We’ve been busy improving the OHSS website!

I’ve spent some time behind the scenes giving the OHSS website a bit of a refresh, making it easier to navigate, more informative and even more useful for our customers.

So, what’s improved?

* A cleaner, more modern look
* Easier access to our health and safety training courses
* Clearer information about our consultancy and fire risk assessment services
* Improved information on our classroom, remote and e-learning options

NEW TRAINING COURSE – HHSRS & AWAAB’S LAW AWARENESS

We’ve been busy behind the scenes at OHSS developing a brand-new, one-day awareness training course, and we’re pleased to announce that our first session will be delivered to a local authority next week!

Our HHSRS & Awaab’s Law Awareness Training has been designed for people working in local authorities, housing associations and the wider social housing sector.

Drawing on years of experience working within social housing, alongside delivering countless health and safety training courses to housing associations and local authorities, we’ve developed a course that focuses on practical understanding rather than simply reading through legislation.

What does the course cover?

* Understanding the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS)
* Recognising common housing hazards
* Understanding Awaab’s Law and relevant legal responsibilities
* Identifying, reporting and responding to housing safety concerns
* Communication, record keeping and appropriate action
* Practical examples and real-world scenarios

This is a one-day, OHSS-developed, non-accredited awareness course, designed to improve knowledge and understanding. It is not a formal HHSRS assessor qualification.

Our aim is simple: to help those working in housing better recognise potential risks, understand their responsibilities and appreciate the importance of keeping residents safe.

We’re looking forward to delivering the first course next week, and we’ll let you know how it goes!

Dave thinks the workplace is haunted.

Mysterious trips. Slippery floors. Boxes appearing in front of the fire exit.

His solution? A torch and a bedsheet.

OHSS has a different theory: a trailing cable, spilled tea and those boxes Dave left there on Tuesday.

Watch “Dave’s Haunted Workplace” to see why the scariest hazards often have a very ordinary explanation.

Don’t be like Dave. Leave the ghost hunting for Halloween and get practical help with workplace safety.

Dave’s gone digital. His computer is still deciding.

Armed with a beige keyboard and one typing finger, Dave has discovered the OHSS website. Workplace safety training and consultancy are now within reach—even from his eighties office.

Watch “Dave Goes Digital” to see his latest technological breakthrough.

Don’t be like Dave. Bring your workplace safety arrangements up to date.

MYTH or FACT: there's a legal maximum weight you can lift at work? 📦

Comment MYTH or FACT before you watch 👇

The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 don't set a weight limit. Employers must avoid hazardous manual handling where reasonably practicable, assess what can't be avoided, and reduce the risk. HSE's guideline weights are a filter, not a "safe" limit.

Real risk depends on TILE: Task, Individual, Load, Environment.

We deliver the Level 2 Award in Manual Handling at your workplace, plus manual handling risk assessments and practical H&S consultancy.

Meet Dave, He knows best. Or so he thinks.

Swivel chairs, dodgy lifting, one very tired plug socket and a fire door propped open with the extinguisher. Which of Dave’s mistakes have you seen at work?

Don’t be a Dave. We train your team at your workplace: first aid, fire safety, manual handling and mental health.
