The Health & Safety Executive has awarded British Glass £93,000 funding to lead a health and safety improvement programme within SMEs in the glass sector. The project follows on from the outstanding success of the "GLASS Charter" a health & safety support initiative for the glass industry, which will continue to run in conjunction with the new programme. The focus of the programme will be on providing "Worker Safety Advisors" to individual organisations. The advisors will work in partnership with management & employee teams to drive forward health & safety improvements. Launched August/04, the project will include these free resources: Six days consultancy; action planning support; tools to sustain momentum; access to HSE advice. The project is open to SMEs from all sectors of the glass industry. For more info pls contact: J Tollerfield tel:0114 290 1809.
