 Welcome to the home page of the Herefordshire Health and Safety Group. The group was formed in 1968 and since then we have strived to support and offer free advice, information and support to companies and individuals who may have an interest in health, safety and environmental issues. Our seminars cover a wide range of subjects that are only available to our members. Here you will find a relaxed, comfortable environment but above all the opportunity to gain knowledge from a wide range of experts in every field of health and safety. We encourage the sharing of information where our committee members are always on hand to introduce new members and also to assist in any means to ensure everyone benefits from the days event.We hope you find this website of interest and look forward to seeing you at a seminar soon!  Chairman's Introduction 2012 - 13 In keeping with tradition Dave and I cordially offer our thanks and gratitude to all subscribing members of the group for their support and attendance to the seminars of 2011-12. These were well attended in general and feedback was positive with a few minor observations which will be addressed for the coming year. On behalf of the whole group we also offer thanks to the committee for the arranging and running of the seminars, especially considering that most of this work is undertaken in their own time. 2012-13 will undoubtedly continue to be testing financial times for businesses and we feel the value offered by the group for such a small cost will pay dividends to companies, even if the information gleaned prevents one incident in the workplace. Thus saving time and costs related to investigations, equipment changes/trials, and in the worst case fines and compensation claims. The group held its Annual General Meeting, (AGM), on 11 April 2012 and thanks Exmed for allowing the use of their premises and the informative tour of their training facilities. The AGM reviewed the year’s seminars, elected three new committee members and approved a revised Constitution and Policy Statement in order to bring the group up to date. For 2012-13 we shall be aiming to minimise paper waste through utilising electronic means where possible, including the provision of information through our ongoing revamp of the group website. As members to the group your feedback is important to enable us, as the committee, to effect change for the good and benefit of the group members so please feel free to communicate any observations to the committee. With the first seminar of 2012-13 planned for Sept, the committee will be formulating a programme of interesting topics and as usual a schedule will be distributed to all members, and we look forward to seeing both familiar and new faces.
