Christmas temps start soon, and they often get the heaviest jobs. Irish law requires employers to avoid manual handling where possible, assess the risk and train staff. Temps included. Our online Manual Handling course fits in before day one. #ManualHandling #SeasonalWork

Hearing loss from noise is permanent and preventable. Rule of thumb: if you have to shout to be heard 2 metres away, noise may be 85 dB(A) or more. Irish action values: 80, 85, and a limit of 87 dB(A). We carry out workplace noise assessments. #NoiseAtWork

It's European Week for Safety and Health at Work, focused on psychosocial risks. Excessive workload, unclear roles and bullying belong in your risk assessment, just like physical hazards. Our 60-min online Dignity at Work course helps staff and managers. #MentalHealthAtWork

Myth: allergen info only matters for packaged food. Fact: in Ireland, cafes, restaurants and takeaways must give allergen info for non-prepacked food too, in writing. 14 allergens. If a customer asks "any nuts?", does every staff member know where to check? #FoodSafety

A client asked us for manual handling training. Staff were lifting 20-litre water bottles (about 20 kg) high onto a cooler with awkward posture. We risk-assessed instead. They switched to a plumbed-in water system: hazard eliminated. Fix the task first. #ManualHandling

August: 3 Closure Orders and 4 Prohibition Orders on Irish food businesses. Reasons included pests, grease, no HACCP system and untrained staff. Almost all preventable. Would your kitchen pass an inspection? We run HACCP training and food safety audits. #FoodSafety #HACCP

Ladders are involved in many serious falls at work. Before you climb, take 30 seconds: - Anti-slip feet OK? - Rungs and stiles undamaged? - 1 out for every 4 up? - Firm, level, clean ground? Then keep 3 points of contact. #WorkingAtHeight #LadderSafety
