To mark International Dog Day 🐕 we celebrate the three-and-a-half-year partnership between Nadine Hodgson CMIOSH and her hearing dog, Elvis, a five-year-old cocker spaniel. Nadine Hodgson was in her early-20s when she first noticed a problem with her hearing. She resolved to contacting Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, a nearby charity whose work was familiar to her, and this is when Elvis came into her life. Nadine said a hearing dog’s work is never done and so Elvis is ‘on duty’ 24/7. And with him around people respond much better to her deafness. Read the full story here: https://bit.ly/3YY5wIC We’d love to know what your dog means in your life🐕 Let us know in the comments and share a pic too 📷 #InternationalDogDay #HearingDog #HealthAndSafety

There’s been much debate recently on the merits and demerits of introducing a four-day working week, where employees work fewer hours with no loss in pay. A four-day week trial at South Cambridgeshire District Council (https://lnkd.in/eAABpB56) was hailed a success as it revealed across-the-board improvements in productivity. What’s your view on bringing in a four-day working week? Let us know by answering our question below. We also invite you to explain your view in the comments section (we will look to use some of your comments in an IOSH news report on this poll – please state if you do not give permission for us to include your name and comments, or if we can include your comments, but anonymously).

Day 10 of the breakdown of the IOSH / ARUP Report- Towards a safe and healthy future of work. Technology that may have an impact on the future of the world of work have been divided into 3 categories: - Manufacturing, hardware and applications - Experiences and interfaces - Advanced computing, data and AI Today will give a few examples from “Manufacturing, hardware and applications” Basics of this technology is key knowledge to be able to adequately perform a risk assessment to ensure health and safety in their use. NB: Technology Readiness Level (TRL) assesses a technology’s maturity level, ranging from TRL 1 (‘basic principles observed and reported’) to TRL 9 (‘actual system proven through successful operations’). Air monitoring (TRL 9): - devices that measure airbone pollutants such as carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). - Air Pollution has been linked to many health problems including cardiovascular disease and decline in cognitive function. It’s approximated to result in 7 million premature deaths around the world every year. - WHO states that air pollution poses risks similar to the risk to your health from smoking or unhealthy eating Smart sensors (TRL 9) - Monitor, analyze and track information from the physical environment - Shell uses these to remotely monitor the conditions of its products in remote locations - Siemens use these for predictive maintenance, but detecting faults before they cause breakdowns Drones (TRL 9) - Driver-less aerial vehicles which are used to perform a diverse range of tasks - Dow Chemical uses drones to monitor for example work-at-height and confined spaces, to reduce the risk from people performing these tasks Cobots (TRL 9) - Collaborative robots as mentioned in yesterday’s post Stay tuned, these insights are key to achieving the Vision of a Safe and Healthy World of Work.
