The Adams & Heys Podcast

This week, we sat down with Melissa Fazackerly, and Anthony quizzed Melissa and Dan on getting started as a consultant. We touched on taking care of yourself and some of the unexpected challenges that they've both encountered while beginning their journeys as consultants.

In the news this week, is the release of the New British Standard for Fire Risk Assessor Competence, and we chat about how ongoing discussions about which words we use, might be contributing to the Health & Safety Discipline losing sight of what we're here to do.

So we've been quiet again for a few months because we've got big news.. we're starting a business!

It's been a while since we've sat down, we briefly chat about what we've been up to, answer the question 'can safety professionals go to jail?' in a myth busters.. and chat about Work at Height, in honor of work at height week.

On this Podcast we interview Katherine Evans, to get an in-depth and down-to-earth look at the experience of women in heavy industry, particularly the provision of welfare and PPE.

Nathan Wilkinson-Jones is an oracle when it comes to dust and particulates, and also a down to earth and straight talking, good humored, health and safety professional. We start to peel the lid back on dust, particulates and why it's so hard to get operatives wearing masks to be clean shaven.

Following on from the tragic death of another worker on a construction site, we delve deeper into comments made by Laing O'rourke in their annual report around the challenges posed by Fixed Priced Contracts and whether its possible to maintain a Safe working environment in the current financial climate.

We have a look at the latest construction fail from the Department for Education. We bring back Myth Busters where we talk about whether you can sack someone for not holding a handrail and should you ban bread knifes? All with a lot of laughter.
