Millions of people in the United Kingdom use natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), for a wide range of both domestic and commercial applications. Accordingly, large numbers of workers participate in storing and supplying the gas, and in installing, servicing and repairing gas appliances, fittings and pipes.

The Department of Health and Social Care once estimated that if a pandemic virus was to hit the UK, approximately 90,000 to 600,000 people could possibly die. This was based on models from past pandemics – the Spanish Flu (1918), the Asian Flu (1957), and the Hong Kong Flu (1968). The government further estimated that up to 35% of the workforce could be absent from work at the height of a pandemic wave. The potential impact on the social and economic infrastructure is enormous. When the H1N1 Pandemic of 2009 occurred, the World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that there were over 184,000 clinically confirmed deaths worldwide in the first year. Since then, advances in science and preparedness have been implemented to prevent outbreaks from reaching pandemic proportions. Great strides have been made in monitoring and detection, risk assessment, prevention and treatment. These advances are outlined in the Department of Health’s UK Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Strategy. This plan outlines the roles and responsibilities of governmental and non-governmental entities., but clearly indicates that the centre of gravity for pandemic response will be at the community level. According to the plan, “However well plans for a new pandemic are prepared and implemented by health and other organisations, their overall effectiveness will ultimately depend on the cooperation of individuals and their willingness to follow advice, take personal responsibility for their health and accept responsibility for supporting each other. Government alone cannot mitigate the progression and impact of a pandemic. Rather, it will require people, communities and government to work together and act appropriately to achieve this. For businesses, the plan states “Plans for responding to any influenza pandemic build on and enhance normal business continuity planning for more routine pressures such as bad weather and winter illness. Pandemic preparedness is therefore an integral part of wider emergency response and preparedness.” In other words, it is essential for all institutions and businesses to develop their own pandemic plan. It isn't too early to start planning how you and your organization will respond to the very real threat of a pandemic virus. In fact, there could be a point when it is too late. This course is designed to increase awareness of pandemic threats and to provide information that can be used to form the basis of preparedness and prevention for your organisation.

Working at height is an essential part of many jobs, but it can be dangerous. In fact, falls are the single biggest cause of workplace death and one of the main causes of serious injury. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 apply to all workplaces and industry sectors where work at height will be taking place. The regulations specify safe work practices and are designed to prevent deaths and injuries resulting from falls at work. The purpose of the legislation is to ensure that work at height is planned, organised and carried out safely. The regulations lay out responsibilities for employees and place duties on employers, the self-employed and any person who controls the work of others to do all that is reasonably practicable to prevent falls in the workplace.
