Best Healthy Habits To Practice At Home
Best Healthy Habits To Practice At Home A nutritious diet and plenty of exercise can undoubtedly promote good health, but what about the daily habits you practice at home? From your everyday routine to getting the proper sleep, there are several things you can do to promote and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. It's said that good habits begin at home, and this is absolutely true whether it relates to your career, your relationships, or your physical health. Read on to discover some things you can do to start practicing smarter, healthier habits while at home. Why Healthy Habits are Important Whether it's stress from the workplace, current events, or family life, can be made worse if you don't establish a healthy routine. Practicing good habits will make it easier to stay on track, even when things feel overwhelming. A clean, organized home can do wonders for your state of mind, and it can also help you feel good about coming home after a long day. Healthy eating, practicing self-love, and spending quality family time can help you stay grounded and remind you about what's important in life. Once you develop new, positive habits, they'll quickly become part of your daily rituals. Over time, these healthy habits will improve your mental and physical well-being and give you the tools you need to cope with stress in a more effective, thoughtful way. Starting Your Day Right To start your day on the right foot, you should try to stick to a morning schedule. Once you establish this morning routine, it will become second nature. Stay organized by creating a morning schedule you can follow every day. Draft a morning routine that best fits your specific needs, and consider these tips to help you get started: • Wake up early. When you get up early, you'll get a jump start on your day. Waking up early also allows you to have a little extra "me time" before the rest of the family arises. • Make your bed. The simple act of making your bed can help you feel a sense of accomplishment. Making your bed sets the tone for the day and will give you the motivation to continue with other daily tasks. • Eat a healthy breakfast. A healthy life starts with a healthy breakfast. Skip the sugary cereals and eat a breakfast packed with proteins or fiber to help you feel full, give you energy, and keep your cholesterol levels low. • Get natural light. Natural light plays a significant role in regulating the body's circadian rhythm. If your bedroom doesn't have windows, use a device that slowly increases the amount of light it emits to mimic the rising sun. • Morning exercise. Get active and get moving, and you'll notice higher energy levels and a healthy body. Whether it's yoga, a brisk walk, or jogging, just be sure you get your body moving before you start your day. • Take a shower. Don't put off taking a shower, even if you work from home. A lovely shower will help you feel better, so make sure you take one, get dressed, and avoid staying in your PJ's all day. • Start your daily activities. Procrastinating can only make things worse, so get started on your daily tasks as soon as possible. The sooner you finish, the sooner you'll be able to relax. • Don't work where you sleep. If you work from home, it's never a good idea to work in the same place you sleep. You need to separate your workspace from the rest of your home to achieve a healthy work-life balance. Planning Your Next Day and a Bedtime Routine Gearing up for the day ahead is just as important as your new morning habits. Here are some tips to establish a healthy, positive bedtime routine: • Plan your day in advance. Write a list of the things you need to do the following day to help you stay on track. This can help you avoid forgetting important tasks, and you'll go to bed with a clear head. • Write down a to-do list. Make a simple to-do list of the things you need to get done before bedtime. It's an easy way to ensure that you're accomplishing everything that's most important. • Enjoy some evening showering or pampering time. Relax before you head to bed with a nice bubble bath or a warm shower. Take some time to pamper yourself so you can decompress and feel a sense of calm and relaxation before bed. • No electronics 30 minutes before bed. Turn off your cell phone, laptop, or TV at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Too much stimulation can cause anxiety, or it may make it more difficult for you to fall asleep. • Go to bed early. Try to get to bed as early as possible, so you get ample sleep. Practice nightly meditation to help you fall asleep and aim for at least 6-8 hours of sleep per night whenever you can. Practice Healthy Nutrition Habits Eating a healthy diet can do wonders for your body and mind. Follow these easy tips to help you stay on track and adopt healthy eating habits at home: • Start by cleaning and decluttering your fridge and pantry. Get rid of junk food and anything that's expired. Your kitchen will be more organized, and you'll have a clean slate to start from. Finish by filling your fridge, pantry, and cabinets with healthy foods that you enjoy. • Learn some new, healthy recipes and try making them at home. Cook your meals for the entire week on one day (Saturday or Sunday tends to be a good choice), and freeze everything so it's easier to prepare lunch and dinner during the rest of the week. • Make sure you drink enough water throughout the day. It's important to stay hydrated to help you stay on task, avoid dehydration headaches, and to help you feel fuller, longer. • Practice conscious eating. This means creating meal plans in advance and focusing your diet on mostly veggies and fruits rather than processed meals and snacks. Enjoy Some "Me" Time One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to dedicate some time each day that's just for you. If you have a spare room, add some comfy furniture, and make it your special place to read some of your favorite books, enjoy a cup of hot tea, or just listen to your favorite music. These simple habits may seem small, but they can actually go a long way toward keeping you happy and healthy. Use this time to relax, unwind, and focus on yourself for at least a few minutes every day. Learn Something New Another great way to practice self-care is to try something different and new. Take up a new hobby like painting, arts and crafts, or enroll in a cooking or baking class. If you're feeling up to it, plan a DIY project, or do some house remodeling. When you step out of your comfort zone, you'll discover new things, meet new people, and maybe even find out some new skills you didn't know you had. If you enjoy arts or doing crafts, remodel one of the rooms in your home and make it a private studio. Take up activities like painting or embroidery so you can express your creative side. Ultimately, the goal is to discover something new and enjoyable that will make you happy and give you a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. It's essential to try and avoid social media and negative news to restore your sense of well-being, too. Once you find a new hobby, it will become your favorite thing to do, and staying away from negativity will be much easier. Involve the Whole Family Developing and adopting new healthy habits at home should include the entire family. Encourage your kids to eat healthier and to get exercise every day instead of just sitting in front of their smartphone or computer. Plan some family time at least once a week where you can play games together or watch a movie. This will help you establish a strong relationship with your family and keep the lines of communication open. Over time, the whole family will develop new habits that will promote the physical and mental well-being of everyone. It's also a great way to help boost your children's self-esteem. Practicing a few simple healthy habits at home will improve your life by leaps and bounds. Start by organizing your home and create a daily morning and evening routine. Don't forget to make time for yourself whether it's through meditation or learning a new hobby. Encourage the whole family to learn some new healthy habits of your own, and you'll discover just how much better life can be.

Stress Management: How To Develop Effective Techniques In The Workplace
Stress Management: How To Develop Effective Techniques In The Workplace Stress is all but unavoidable at work. Even in the most enjoyable jobs, stress can still affect us — it’s simply a part of working life. But just because it happens doesn’t mean it’s not possible to manage it. If left unchecked, stress can lead to long-term burnout. This is especially important at a time when many of us will be returning to work in the foreseeable future as the lockdown restrictions ease. Read on to learn how to develop effective stress management techniques in the workplace. Consider medication for more severe symptoms of stress Stress is a complex thing, often manifesting as physical symptoms rather than just emotional or mental ones. As well as feeling tense or tightly wound, stress can also cause other, more noticeable symptoms, such as nausea, upset stomachs, and so on. Among the most common ways that stress can manifest is through migraines. These are acute headaches that vary intensity and duration, lasting anywhere from a couple of minutes to a few hours. In some rare cases, they can even last for days. Migraines can be debilitating, so it’s worth considering medication to help you manage them and reduce further stress in the workplace. Remove yourself from stressful environments where possible It might sound obvious, but your environment in which you work plays an influential role in stress. Poor design, artificial lighting, loud machinery, and even unpleasant colleagues — these all make for a negative environment that encourages stress. Consequently, it’s important to remove yourself from this situation when things get too much. Of course, you can’t simply leave your desk whenever you like, but try taking short, five-minute walks around the block instead. When you remove yourself from your stressful environment, even for just a few minutes, it gives your brain a chance to recalibrate and gather your thoughts. When you return to your desk, you will be refreshed and ready to continue working. Enjoy the benefits of exercise for your wellbeing It’s often said that exercise is one of the best things you can do for yourself, and the benefits extend far beyond physical health. Exercise as a stress management tool is effective and accessible, and one that easily fits into your workday. When you workout, your body expresses pent up stress and anger, letting it out rather than keeping it inside. It also releases endorphins, so the stress-reducing benefits continue even after you’ve finished exercising. If you’re able to exercise at lunch, this is especially effective. As well as letting you work out your stress through running or a gym session, it also gets you away from the desk and out of a stressful environment. Establish clear boundaries between your work and home lives Between smart devices, video conferencing, and other modern technologies, the line between work and home is becoming more and more blurred. Many of us adhere to an “always-on” state, ready to respond to work emails or calls at any time of day. Of course, such an attitude only increases our stress levels. We’re unable to completely relax if we still feel like we’re working. As such, it’s crucial that you set out clear boundaries between your day job and your home life. Start by turning off any work phones or other devices when you leave the office. This includes anything that might let you check your emails too. Consider avoiding working overtime at weekends too — these are reasonable requests that your manager should understand and accept. Not every job allows for points like these, of course. But it’s still important to clearly delineate between work and home — pushing yourself too far too often will only lead to burnout. Ask for help from your employer Finally, but perhaps most importantly, consider seeking help from your employer. For many, the idea of reaching out to a colleague or supervisor for help is not an option they would ever consider. The fear that it might come across as petty complaining or insolence prevents overworked and stress employees from seeking the help they need. But this stiff upper lip is not a sustainable approach. It only increases stress levels, possibly making you resent your supervisor and, eventually, resulting in total burnout. If you’re finding your workload unmanageable or you are struggling with tasks, speak to your supervisor. It is not unreasonable to ask for help or guidance if you need it, and most good employers will be sympathetic to this. Businesses in 2020 are becoming increasingly aware of mental health and the long-term effect it has on employees. Consequently, many have introduced dedicated employee wellness resources in order to manage and maintain staff wellbeing. Some employers even offer third-party support, such as counseling services, or therapeutic sessions such as massages. It is your employer’s responsibility to ensure their staff are happy and balanced. Beyond this, it’s also in their best interests. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. The tips listed above are just a few examples of stress management techniques you can implement in the workplace. Identify what works for you and make them an essential part of your day. With time, you will be able to better manage stress yourself with ease.

Mental Health Awareness Week - Day 3
Mental Health Awareness Week - Day 3 Today a few of the Principal People team shared the acts of #kindness that they have been sharing with friends, families and charities so far this week. One I would like to share shows how much a call can improve someone's happiness. "I heard an old college friend who I haven’t spoken to in ages had been furloughed, she lives alone after just breaking up from a long term relationship. I was on a group text when I learned this and that she had been having some real down days. I reached out and called her last night, and we spent a good couple of hours having a chat and catching up. I’ve promised to stay in regular contact and plan to call her again next week."

Mental Health Awareness Week 2020
It’s Mental Health Awareness Week next week and this year’s theme is ‘kindness’. One thing that we have seen all over the world is that kindness is prevailing in uncertain times, especially with the pandemic surrounding 2020. The Mental Health Foundation are the home of Mental Health Awareness Week and are an organisation with a vision for good mental health for all. Their mission is to help people understand, protect and sustain their mental health. What is Mental Health Awareness Week? Mental health problems can affect anyone, at any time. Each May, The Mental Health Foundation build a campaign around a specific theme for Mental Health Awareness Week. Since their first campaign in 2001, they have raised awareness of topics such as body image, stress and relationships. Hundreds of schools, businesses and communities have started to open conversations around mental health and that change can save lives. The campaign reaches millions of people every year. With the current situation of COVID-19, now is a better time than ever to get involved and raise awareness of mental health and this year's theme, kindness. Getting involved is extremely easy. You can either share the campaign to make other people aware or you can participate, ideally both! You can do as little or as much as you want in participating - for example, you could send a text to a friend which motivates them. Alternatively, you could host an online fundraiser with your team at work. The PDF below gives many examples of what you can do - it doesn't have to cost you anything.

CPD - subject matter experts
Studying hard Over the last few weeks, we have been keeping in contact with the furlough team to make sure that they are staying happy, active and sane during the isolation period. We were pleased to hear that a few of our team members have enrolled themselves on CPD courses, enabling them to become subject matter experts. Two of our members from the Environment and Sustainability team have been studying industry related courses with the aim of being able to understand the needs and requirements of their candidates and clients in greater detail. As well as this, they want to be able to express opinions and thoughts in relation to Environment and Sustainability across their network of professionals, opening up conversations and being able to add value. Well done Katie and Greg, I'm certain this dedication of your time will prove to be beneficial and will only provide opportunity for you to explore your candidates needs and wants even more. Hannah from our Sales Support Team is undergoing her CIPD qualification, which broadens her understanding in the world of HR. Keen to take steps into this industry, Hannah has been thinking about studying this qualification for a while and she started it before the COVID-19 crisis, however, being on furlough has meant she can spend more time on her studies. Good luck Hannah! One of our newer team members, Ella, has been studying a qualification in Nutrition. Ella loves fitness and was an avid gym go-er before the lock down. Ella's partner works for her local gym and during the lock down has been offering free gym classes to our team. Ella's course is a level 5 qualification made up of 12 different modules. Ella chose to study this course as it is something that interests her and it is something that is useful to know in day to day life. It's quite a long course, so now is the perfect time for her to be putting her head down and studying. Well done team, continuing to keep your brain active and increasing your knowledge and awareness in these areas during this tough time is amazing.

Our sense of time is out of shape – events in the news seem to move so fast – and everyday sees another problem or a possible solution. At the same time the days at home, or the nights can seem to drag. Whatever is happening to you, or to us, there is an impact on our mental health. For now, the best thing to do is to focus on the here and now, this minute. We are in the first phase of an emergency – lots of people are coming to terms with a rapidly changing situation. It may seem today that the problem you are facing with your bills, your landlord, your childcare or your job is unsolvable. Everyday there are new solutions – from government, from our communities, and from the businesses in our lives. Sometimes we must find a way to take a breath, look at the issue from a different angle, and reach out. There isn’t always an answer today - but the only way is through. It is OK to feel afraid, scared or desperate. This isn’t your fault. If you need someone to talk to, reach out to Samaritans on 116 123, to CALM on 0800 585858. For a range of advice, you can contact Citizens Advice in England, Wales and Northern Ireland or Scotland. Adviceline is a national phone service operated by Citizens Advice. You can contact an Adviceline adviser on 03444 111 444 (Text relay: 03444 111 445) Financial worries Use time you are at home to work through your finances Using a budget tool to redo your household budget for being at home could be useful. Remember that you may be saving money by not spending on things like transport and socialising. Factor that in when looking at your budget. Find out what help you might be entitled to The government is offering a range of measures to support people financially. There is a complete list here: under the heading “Employment and financial support”, this includes support for individuals, employers and people who are self-employed. Reach out for help and advice from services like The Money Advice Service (England and Wales), Stepchange or National Debtline – but remember that services may be busy as organisations of all sorts try to manage staff availability. Remember debt and money advice varies across the UK so make sure you find the appropriate service for your nation. For Scotland try Money Advice Scotland and in Northern Ireland Advice NI. Speak to your bank if you are worried about paying your mortgage as many are arranging mortgage breaks. Keep connected and look after yourself Don't keep it in – talk to family or friends if you can. Look after your sleep, your diet, and other basics – try to avoid drinking excessively and if you are a smoker try to give up or cut down – it may help both financially and in terms of making COVID-19 less serious if you develop the illness. Look at what is available in your community Sadly, many food banks have had to close but rapidly services like this will generally find ways of providing services around the restrictions. If you have children, and they are entitled to free school meals, take them – your school will be in touch about how to access this service. Check any insurance policies you have Life cover, critical illness cover, mortgage insurance and even home insurance sometimes offers legal advice or cover that could help. If you have a mortgage or other major commitment, try and speak to your lenders soon, they may help. Think about groups you might be a member of Do you have a trade union or does your sector have a benevolent charity for example – things like Hospitality Action and The Charity for Civil Servants, or the Lighthouse Club for construction. Beware of scams Use a reputable source such as the gov.uk website or organisations linked above. Never respond to unsolicited messages (texts, calls or emails) that ask for your personal or financial information. Unemployment or furlough It can be very hard to lose access to your work – whether you are let go, furloughed (sent home temporarily) or your work drops if you are self-employed. For more information about your rights at work visit Acas. If you aren’t at work try and keep in touch with colleagues – demand will increase again, and you will have a future. If you are isolated and live at home keeping those connections can be so important. If you are used to a very physical job, try and keep up the exercise – because a sudden change can hit your moods quickly. If you run a business, or employ staff, try to hold off making decisions about jobs and pay until schemes being developed to support staff are up and running. If you are self-employed, try and reach out to your normal networks – or see if there's an opportunity locally to connect with others through business forums. It’s an uncertain time but your skills will be needed again soon. As we adjust to a period of living and working differently employers will be looking for staff – think about how your skills transfer – and if you want to help and are able, consider doing something else for a while. Housing In these uncertain times, when we are asked to stay in our own homes, poor housing or difficulties paying for mortgages or rent can be doubly hard. If you have a mortgage and your income is reduced, speaker to your lender about a payment holiday. If you are a tenant in a similar situation, find out your rights by visiting Shelter or Citizens Advice in England, Wales and Northern Ireland or Scotland and then approach your landlord or agent. It is likely that support for tenants will come on stream in the next few weeks. Remember, these are times that we have not seen before in peacetime. A lot of us will be affected in lots of ways. But keeping calm, checking your options, seeking advice and working through your possibilities will help you come up with a plan. There are helplines available and people willing to support you. We will get through this together.

Joanne's story - Helping the NHS & Key Workers - Safety4Good
Joanne has worked alongside Safety4Good on many occasions now, having helped out with their events and marketing. We recently saw that she posted an article on LinkedIn detailing how she has been supporting the NHS and Key Workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Joanne is a selfless giver and has been offering her skills and hours to help the people who really need it right now. A real hero! Read below her story: Got up early this morning to speak with Chris Goreham at BBC Radio Norfolk about my experience using my volunteering hours I get whilst working at Aviva to help the hashtag#nhs and hashtag#keyworkers. I explained that I wanted to get involved and help as I know that local hospitals and care homes are crying out for PPE. I had seen that people were starting to make crocheted ear protectors and thought I could use the volunteer hours to make them. Now, I don’t crochet but I’ve had a sewing machine which has been collecting dust for years as I’ve never used it. So, I thought I would dig it out, learn how to use it and have a go at making some ear protectors. I started off by making a couple for my next door neighbour who is a senior nurse in the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital ICU to see if they would be of any use. She asked if I could make a lot more as she could take them in to the wards that need them. So I set to work and have been making them ever since. I’ve had so many people reaching out to me from hospitals and care homes – I’ve made around 100 over the last few days and will continue to make them until they’re not needed. Joanne Frost, Aviva - 29.04.2020 Thank you for sharing this story, Joanne. It is an incredible act of kindness which is helping to SAVE LIVES. If you would like to volunteer to help the NHS or your community, please follow this link: https://do-it.org/

Looking after your mental health during the coronavirus outbreak
Hello everyone, I hope that you are well today! Today I wan't to reiterate the importance of looking after your mental health and I have found a great set of tips provided by www.mentalhealth.org.uk. Take 5 minutes to read the below notes, it might just really help you or a family member, friend or colleague during these difficult time. Stay safe and well. Looking after your mental health during the coronavirus outbreak Infectious disease outbreaks, like the current coronavirus (COVID-19), can be scary and can affect our mental health. While it is important to stay informed, there are also many things we can do to support and manage our wellbeing during such times. Here are some tips we hope will help you, your friends and your family to look after your mental health at a time when there is much discussion of potential threats to our physical health. The government is telling us to stay at home and only go outside for food, health reasons or essential work, to stay two metres (six feet) away from other people and wash our hands as soon as we get home. This will mean that more of us will be spending a lot of time at home and many of our regular social activities will no longer be available to us. It will help to try and see it as a different period of time in your life, and not necessarily a bad one, even if you didn’t choose it. It will mean a different rhythm of life, a chance to be in touch with others in different ways than usual. Be in touch with other people regularly on social media, e-mail or on the phone, as they are still good ways of being close to the people who matter to you. Create a new daily routine that prioritises looking after yourself. You could try reading more or watching movies, having an exercise routine, trying new relaxation techniques, or finding new knowledge on the internet. Try and rest and view this as a new if unusual experience, that might have its benefits. Make sure your wider health needs are being looked after such as having enough prescription medicines available to you. Read our full list of tips on staying at home. Try to avoid speculation and look up reputable sources on the outbreak Rumour and speculation can fuel anxiety. Having access to good quality information about the virus can help you feel more in control. You can get up-to-date information and advice on the virus here: Gov.uk Health Protection Scotland Public Health Wales Follow hygiene advice such as washing your hands more often than usual, for 20 seconds with soap and hot water (sing ‘happy birthday’ to yourself twice to make sure you do this for 20 seconds). You should do this whenever you get home or into work, blow your nose, sneeze or cough, eat or handle food. If you can’t wash your hands straightaway, use hand sanitiser and then wash them at the next opportunity. You should also use tissues if you sneeze and make sure you dispose of them quickly; and stay at home if you are feeling unwell. Try to stay connected At times of stress, we work better in company and with support. Try and keep in touch with your friends and family, by telephone, email or social media, or contact a helpline for emotional support. You may like to focus on the things you can do if you feel able to: stress management keep active eat a balanced diet Stay in touch with friends on social media but try not to sensationalise things. If you are sharing content, use this from trusted sources, and remember that your friends might be worried too. Also remember to regularly assess your social media activity. Tune in with yourself and ask if they need to be adjusted. Are there particular accounts or people that are increasing your worry or anxiety? Consider muting or unfollowing accounts or hashtags that cause you to feel anxious. Talk to your children Involving our family and children in our plans for good health is essential. We need be alert to and ask children what they have heard about the outbreak and support them, without causing them alarm. We need to minimise the negative impact it has on our children and explain the facts to them. Discuss the news with them but try and avoid over-exposure to coverage of the virus. Be as truthful as possible. Let’s not avoid the ‘scary topic’ but engage in a way that is appropriate for them. We have more advice on talking with your children about the coronavirus outbreak. Try to anticipate distress It is OK to feel vulnerable and overwhelmed as we read news about the outbreak, especially if you have experienced trauma or a mental health problem in the past, or if you have a long-term physical health condition that makes you more vulnerable to the effects of the coronavirus. It’s important to acknowledge these feelings and remind each other to look after our physical and mental health. We should also be aware of and avoid increasing habits that may not be helpful in the long term, like smoking and drinking. Try and reassure people you know who may be worried and check in with people who you know are living alone. Try not to make assumptions Don’t judge people and avoid jumping to conclusions about who is responsible for the spread of the disease. The coronavirus can affect anyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity or sex. Try to manage how you follow the outbreak in the media There is extensive news coverage about the outbreak. If you find that the news is causing you huge stress, it’s important to find a balance. It’s best that you don’t avoid all news and that you keep informing and educating yourself, but limit your news intake if it is bothering you. https://mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/looking-after-your-mental-health-during-coronavirus-outbreak

Helping during the pandemic - Social Housing Recruitment
In a world currently brimming with uncertainty, we have seen so many Health and Safety professionals go above and beyond to help. The charity, Safety4Good, has previously described the Health and Safety profession to be a 'community of selfless givers' and now more than ever we have seen this put into place. We have seen so many stories across our professional network as well as social media platforms describing both the working and furloughed H&S practitioners who are actively looking to help, offering consultative professional advice and getting stuck in with local community based work whenever they can. Again and unsurprisingly, reinforcing our statement solidly. Like the Health and Safety community, the furloughed staff from Social Housing Recruitment have also been keeping busy giving back. Read below about what Becky has been up to so far during her time on furlough BECKY As her colleagues in Social Housing Recruitment are well aware, Becky's brain is automatically wired to help, provide for and encourage people. She is a brilliant recruiter who is praised mostly for taking the time to understand her candidates needs and requirements and showing faith in absolution in the people that she represents. Currently Becky, like many others, is on furlough. Becky has once again illustrated to us how remarkable she is in the efforts she is going to in order to help those around her. Becky has signed up to be an NHS volunteer, meaning that whenever the NHS require someone desperately, she could provide assistance. Making the NHS staff's jobs less pressurised and helping to save time and lives. As well as that, Becky has started a sign language course, has been shopping for her parents and elderly grandparents and she has also kindly been knitting hearts for patients who cannot see their families during the pandemic (as part of this appeal). What an incredible person. There are thousands of ways to help your community and the NHS during this pandemic, whether it be donating to a cause, learning a course, shopping for the elderly or even just spreading positivity to your friends and family on social media - what you can do will make a difference so get involved!

COVID-19 - Think SMART
How are you coping with COVID-19? It is a worrying and difficult time for everyone, especially for key workers and those on the front line in our amazing NHS. It's really important for everyone, whether working or not, to take great care of their mental health during this time. Most people will be watching the news a lot more frequently than they previously had which is fine, but if it is making you upset or overly scared, reduce it to only a few times a day. A big cause for conern is false news. Normally spread across social media, untrue information can affect a huge amount of people very quickly, causing them to worry and further pass this misinformation on. Try and keep up to date only with reliable sources, such as from the World Health Organisation.

Australian Bush Fire Crisis
Australian Bush Fires – help our Antipodean friends and their “critters” by supporting our Australia day fundraising event On Friday 24th of January, Principal People will be raising money for WWF and The Red Cross equally through our Safety4Good programme to support the catastrophic bush fires in Australia, by celebrating Australia day (Sunday 26th). Shockingly, statistics read that there have been over 28 fatalities, 3,000 homes destroyed and 7.3 million hectares have been burned and the fires show no signs of stopping. As well as this, it is estimated that over one billion animals have been affected nationwide across South East Australia. Principal People will be holding a Cake Sale and a BBQ at their offices in Farnborough in an effort to raise money for the two charities with a hope to achieve £1,000. They are also asking their neighbouring offices to sponsor a Koala and are hoping that each office will be able to participate, which could total 45 adopted koalas!

The importance of fire safety in the workplace
The importance of fire safety in the workplace Fires can happen at any time and can affect any business. As an employer, you're responsible for the safety of workers. You’re also responsible if you’re: The owner The landlord Or occupier Of non-domestic premises. There are a variety of regulations in places to protect employees on or off-site. And the body responsible for enforcing these rules is the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). As an employer, you have a duty of care to your employees. They’re legally entitled to a working environment free of risks and hazards. This relates to everything from their physical to their mental health and wellbeing. This piece focuses on fire safety in the workplace. In it, we’ll explore the HSE regulations in place to protect employees as well as the importance of carrying out regular and adequate fire drills at work. The law on fire safety The main regulation that addresses fire safety in the workplace in Ireland is the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. The first and most important requirement from this legislation is for a fire safety risk assessment. This aims to help identify areas within the workplace that could cause a fire and the people who’ll be at risk. For example, identifying all possible sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen. Or recognising that your kitchen staff are more likely to be at risk of being exposed to fire. It applies to anyone responsible for workplaces and buildings to which the public has access to. The legislation requires all premises to reach the essential criteria. It also requires all employers to ensure their employees receive adequate safety training. This should be on the procedures they need to follow during a fire, including fire drills. Use the result of the assessment to take adequate measures to eliminate, control or minimise the risk of injury or death in an emergency. Other elements to consider in the assessment include: Providing and maintaining general fire-fighting equipment such as alarms, extinguishers, fire blankets etc. Planning for emergencies. Regular review and update of risk assessment. Marking fire exits and ensuring they’re unobstructed at all times. Separating sources of ignition and any flammable substances. The importance of fire safety According to the Home Office fire-related fatality statistics for the year 2016/2017, Fire and Rescue Services in England attended to over 15,000 fires in non-dwelling (commercial) buildings. The one thing that’s for certain in this report is that fires can affect any type of building. Apart from industrial sites with high risks of fires due to the nature of the work, the report also accounts for fires in hospitals, schools, and shops. As well as fulfilling your legal obligation, fire drills are important to know how your staff will behave in high-pressure situations such as fires. As the saying goes, ‘practice makes perfect’. Carrying out regular fire safety checks provides you with an opportunity to identify any weak spots in the process and improve on it. The legal obligation is to conduct these drills at least once a year but it’s advisable to carry them out more often than that. Especially if your workplace is one with various fire risk factors. It’s worth noting, to prevent instances of chaos and panic you should inform all employees of the upcoming fire drill. Protecting off-site workers Because not all emergencies happen whilst staff are on office premises, your remote workers could also be at risk. For the year 2013/2014, the department for Communities and Local government found that 80% of all recorded fires were domestic. Under the health and safety legislation, you could be at risk of prosecution if you don’t know where they are when an accident happens. This means that you also have to consider the safety of your employees working off-site. It’s important that they know how to respond if they find themselves at risk whilst off-site or travelling for work. Of course, it’s much more difficult to ascertain who’s at risk when employees aren’t located in the office. Advancements in technology are allowing businesses to take advantage of the lone worker devices to monitor and protect staff. Various apps have made it so that during times of emergencies such as terror attacks and natural disasters, you’re able to locate and protect your employees working offsite. With it, you’re able to fulfil your duty of care by identifying who is in or near an incident area and collecting real-time information from those in affected zones. Other tips for ensuring the safety of off-site workers include: Providing thorough training to equip staff to recognise and avoid hazards. Determining any possible risks field employee may face when they’re off-site. Developing a procedure to communicate with an assigned member of staff at predetermined intervals. Conclusion Because risks may vary depending on the job, it’s important to consider every role and how they could be at risk. For those in the office, prevention steps such as ensuring fire safety equipment are kept clear and holding regular drills can make all the difference during times of emergencies. For remote workers, as well as providing them with training, personal protective equipment and taking advantage of the latest in lone worker devices, remember to review supervision arrangements and make use of dynamic risk assessments as the dangers they’re exposed to can change depending on their situation.

How to Become a Health, Safety and Environment Officer
How to Become a Health, Safety and Environment Officer A health, safety and environment (HSE) officer is responsible for promoting and maintaining the health and safety (H&S) culture within the company. Also, they make sure that everyone in the company follows safety policies under the law. Furthermore, an HSE officer can work with various organisations ranging from small companies to multinationals. Job description Many government agencies and private companies require the services of HSE officers. Based on the work requirement, you might work either full time or per project. Also, you might work either in an office or in the field. Furthermore, the job may entail frequent travel, safety investigations and checking incident reports. So, if you’re interested in this kind of work, here are some more details. Health, safety and environment defined It’s a discipline or speciality that studies how to implement the practical promotion and maintenance of a worker’s physical, mental and social well-being. It’s what organisations must do to protect employees from becoming ill caused by poor working conditions. The importance of the Health and Safety Executive The Health and Safety Executive is the UK’s regulator, whose goal is to prevent illness, injury and even death in the workplace. To accomplish this mandate, they are authorised to visit businesses and: Make inspections. Conduct investigations. Provide advice and guidance. Enforce the law. Receive reports or complaints. HSE also needs to ensure that every company has: A clean workplace The workplace plays a significant role in workers’ productivity and well-being. So, by maintaining a clean working environment, the company keeps its employees efficient, healthy and safe. While it’s easy to put off cleaning a busy workplace, companies risk accidents or illness. If that happens, a sick or injured employee won’t be able to work productively. Also, a clean environment can reduce a worker’s health cost while boosting or maintaining efficiency. A safe and healthy environment Ideally, employees should work without fear of injury or death. However, accidents and injuries do occur. Fortunately, an HSE officer can reduce such risks by recommending or implementing safety programmes and procedures. It may require cost and adjustment, but the benefits far outweigh them. Legal cover and responsibility The Health and Safety Act 1974 is the primary UK law that covers workplace H&S. There are also other rules enforced by the Health and Safety Executive and local authorities. Other environmental and safety regulations include: Agriculture Act 1956 – Safety, Health and Welfare Provisions Environment and Safety Information Act 1988 Explosives Act 1875 Factories Act 1961 Health and Safety (Offences) Act 2008 Offshore Safety Act 1992 Daily duties An HSE officer can expect to do the following tasks: Conduct risk assessments and list all the possible ways to reduce them. Set up safety operational procedures that will identify any hazards in the workplace. Regularly inspect the work area to ensure that company policies and procedures are followed. Make sure that the company supports safe work practices and complies with the law. Help the company develop H&S strategies and plans. Conduct in-house H&S training for managers and employees. Make a note of review findings and suggest improvements. List all workplace accidents and incidents for reporting and statistical purposes. Keep up to date with H&S legislation that will affect the company. Help write management reports, including bulletins and newsletters. Make sure that all equipment is installed and operated safely. Ensure that the company disposes of all waste and hazardous substances safely. Provide advice with regards to particular topics, such as occupational illnesses, safeguarding company equipment and fire risks. The first step in your H&S career H&S is viewed as a second career by those who hold degrees in other academic fields. Often, overseeing workplace safety is considered as an additional role. To qualify as an H&S professional, you’ll probably need to undertake some post-graduate study. Qualifications If you’re interested in becoming an HSE officer, you’ll be likely to need at least a 2:2 degree or its equivalent. Also, a basic knowledge of H&S will help. Consider taking any of the following courses: Certificate in Applied Health and Safety from National Compliance and Risk Qualifications (NCRQ). National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety from the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH). National Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety from NEBOSH. Level 6 Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health from the British Safety Council. Level 5 (NVQ) Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice from City & Guilds. Level 6 Diploma in Applied Health and Safety from NCRQ. Other ways to become an HSE officer You can still become an HSE officer, even without a degree. However, you’ll need a combination of a suitable H&S qualification and experience. You can also undertake short introductory courses that can advance your career as an HSE officer. However, you’ll need either the Certificate in Applied Health and Safety (NCRQ) or the National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (NEBOSH) as a minimum requirement. It’s also useful to have a background or experience in industries such as: Construction. Risk assessment. Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG). Engineering. Manufacturing. Skills and knowledge required You’ll need to convincingly exhibit the following: Skill in both written and spoken communication: you’ll need to explain H&S concepts and procedures to a variety of audiences. Negotiating ability: you’ll need to convince supervisors and managers to implement safety standards that can affect the speed and efficiency of the company’s operations. Diplomacy: the job requires patience to secure everyone’s cooperation. Analytical: you’ll need to understand complex ideas while presenting them in simple but accurate terms. Inquisitive. Attention to detail. Skilled in IT. Flexible with working hours. Ability to comprehend H&S law and regulations. Physically fit: this is a requirement if you’re working on outdoor sites or in large-scale work environments. Ability to drive: this is essential if the role involves travelling between work areas. Work experience If you’re interested in working in a specific industry, it pays to gain useful H&S experience. For example, if you want to work in the construction industry, gain some expertise in their H&S department. Typical employers/industries You can gain employment in various industries, such as: Chemicals or related fields. Transportation. Construction. Education and training. Engineering. Fire, rescue and the emergency services. Restaurants and catering. Hospitals and clinics. Hotels and inns. Manufacturing, industrial and processing facilities. Large corporations. Government and regulatory agencies. Oil and gas companies. Telecom companies. Training and advancement You can gain valuable learning while working and can complement that with in-house and external training courses. In the UK, if you still don’t have the professional qualifications, consider obtaining training from: NEBOSH. NCRQ. City and Guilds. British Safety Council. Any qualifications from the institutions listed above can meet the academic requirements for the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) graduate membership. You can also advance to IOSH chartered membership (CMIOSH) by completing a two-year initial professional development (IPD) course. Afterwards, you’ll need to continue your studies through continuing professional development (CPD). Membership with IOSH or the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) can help advance your career and CPD studies. You’ll also have opportunities for networking and meeting new people. Furthermore, many UK-based HSE officers are either members of the British Safety Council, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) or both. If you want to specialise in a particular industry, such as offshore oil and gas or nuclear safety, ensure that you obtain the necessary experience. Afterwards, you can move to a managerial position or head up a team of officers. You may also choose to be a consultant handing out advice. Professional bodies To advance your HSE career in the UK, you may interact with the following groups: Health and Safety Executive. IOSH. NCRQ. NEBOSH. British Safety Council. City & Guilds. IIRSM. RoSPA. Conclusion HSE officers play an essential role in various organisations and industries. The role’s main objective is to ensure people’s safety in the workplace. In countries such as the UK, there are various ways to become an HSE officer. This includes academic qualifications, certification or both. You can choose to specialise in particular industries, such as offshore oil and gas or nuclear safety. However, you’ll need to obtain the necessary experience. Afterwards, you can move to a managerial position or head up a team of officers. You may also choose to be a consultant handing out specific advice to a particular industry.

Protecting the health and safety of employees working with dangerous substances
Protecting the health and safety of employees working with dangerous substances A dangerous substance is any gas, solid or liquid that poses a risk to employees’ health and safety. Although more common in some workplaces than others, they can be found in almost all organisations; in fact, in 2015, 17% of staff in the EU said they’d been exposed to chemical substances or products for at least 25% of their working time. 15% of workers also said they’d breathed in fumes, dust or smoke whilst working. The health and safety of your staff should be your number one priority. While it may be difficult to avoid dangerous substances completely, this article will talk you through what the risks are and how to protect your staff when working around them. Common dangerous substances Dangerous substances are commonly found in a number of agricultural, medical and industrial workplaces. Those used frequently include: Acids, such as carbon monoxide, ammonia and chlorine Solvents, such as benzene Corrosive substances, such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulphuric acid Petroleum products, such as kerosene, gasoline and diesel fuel Disinfectants, such as bleach, formaldehyde and thymol Pesticides, such as fungicides, herbicides and insecticides Glues, such as those used in leatherwork and furniture repair Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, aluminium and cadmium If your business uses any of the above substances, you need to ensure you’re taking the right measures to prevent your staff from facing serious health risks. Health risks There are many risks to working with hazardous substances, ranging from mild health problems to more severe cases. No matter your habits for healthy ageing, some effects are acute, whereas others can cause long-term damage. Examples of the most common dangers are: Allergic reactions Poisoning Skin diseases Respiratory problems Cancers Reproductive issues and birth defects It’s also important to bear in mind that some dangerous substances present risks to safety, as well as health. For example, certain substances are flammable and cause risk of fires or explosions, whilst others can cause suffocation. But how do you stop these issues from arising? How to protect employees from harm from dangerous substances The first step in protecting your employees’ from harmful substances is to carry out a risk assessment to highlight any areas that could be problematic to the health of your workforce. Once the risk assessment is complete, you’ll need to take all actions necessary to remove or reduce the risks to the best of your capability. Hazards in the workplace should be monitored regularly to ensure you’re always taking the most effective steps to ensure proper health and safety for your employees. You’ll also need to consider any vulnerable groups among your staff, such as young workers or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. These groups legally require special protection in the workplace. As an employer, you should also take into account untrained or inexperienced staff and contractors, as these groups will need to have prevention techniques tailored to their needs. According to European worker protection legislation, there is a hierarchy of measures you should take when it comes to controlling risks from dangerous substances. The hierarchy is as follows: At the top of the hierarchy is substitution and elimination. Where possible, remove dangerous substances by changing the products or processes in which they are used. If you can’t eliminate the substance, you must substitute it for a non-hazardous (or less hazardous) substance. If you can’t eliminate or substitute the substance, you’ll have to prevent or reduce the employee’s exposure to it by using technical or organisational resolutions. For example, you could reduce the number of workers exposed to the chemical and make sure that the duration of the exposure is limited. If you’re unable to control exposure to a dangerous substance using the above solutions, you should use personal protective equipment (PPE). However, by law, this is a last resort when it comes to preventing risks from harmful substances. As well as following the measure hierarchy, it’s important to communicate with your employees to ensure their safety in the workplace. This includes keeping them informed about: Emergency and first aid procedures The results of risk assessments Preventive measures currently being taken Any hazards they’re exposed to and the risks involved The results of any health surveillance or exposure monitoring How to keep themselves and their colleagues safe Who they should report issues to How to spot problems and check that the workplace is safe Conclusion You have a duty of care to your employees to make sure they remain safe at all times during their working day. Whilst the above is by no means an exhaustive list of measures, it’s important to cover the basics if your industry involves the handling of dangerous substances.

Saunders Family Complete the Guildford 10k Run!
Last Sunday, Daniel Saunders alongside his family ran the Guildford 10k to raise money for Cancer Research UK (CRUK). To make the already difficult 10k run harder, the weather was dreadful with constant rain and freezing winds. However, Dan and his family persevered and completed the challenge in good time. Cancer Research is a charity very close to the hearts of the Saunders Family. Many of their family members have fought cancer, their Aunty Lisa who has defeated breast cancer, was a runner on the day. Unfortunately, a few loved ones did not make it through their battle, and this inspired the family to push themselves forward and take on this challenge in their memory. It's not too late to donate to Cancer Research through #Safety4Good, here is the link to donate - http://bit.ly/Dannys10k

Principal People Dream Catcher programme – supporting Safety4Good Charity
I’m Alex Gover, an Associate Consultant at Principal People and I am traveling to Peru to support impoverished children and families by teaching in the local school for 2 weeks. Principal People are playing a big part in facilitating this by sponsoring me via their annual Dream Catcher programme. Whilst in Cusco Peru, I will be aiding the local community and teaching English as a foreign language in the local school. Cusco’s economy relies on tourism as a major contributor and the locals need to speak English as a minimum to get the highly desirable jobs as tour guides. This class will help provide the next generation with the needed education to support and teach their families moving forward. This enhances their monthly salary from the equivalent of £284.00 without an English Language education to around £1000.00, which is of course life changing for the entire family. This trip has been a goal of mine for years, ever since I learnt about the local situation there through friends who had made the visit. However, the journey has been financially out of reach until Principal People introduced their Dream Catcher Programme. This programme is made to grant a team member the chance to achieve a life goal through various means of support. I am eternally grateful for this opportunity to support another culture as they grow and develop and cannot wait to share my journey! More updates from Peru over the next 2 weeks. I am aligning the trip with the Safety4Good movement by Health & Safety leaders and have chosen one of their charities to encourage donations too. This is the Shooting Star Chase Children’s Hospice in Guildford. For more information see here and donate direct to them via the Virgin Money link. I have kicked off the donation myself so please donate to this wonderful cause whatever you can. www.safety4good.com/charities/shooting-star-chase

Dan's 10k run for Cancer Research
Dan's Journey On Sunday the 13th of October, Daniel Saunders, a Consultant at Principal People, is taking part in the Guildford 10k alongside a few members of his family. They will be raising money for Cancer Research, which is a charity very close to their hearts. Read their story below: We are Lisa, Jemma, Harley & Daniel Saunders and together we are raising money for Cancer research by running the Guildford 10k on October 13th. Our family has had to battle through many forms of cancer over the years. Just last year our Aunty Lisa (fellow runner) and our mother Jo, defeated breast cancer. But sadly there are some loved ones that didn’t make it through their battle. We have had to say goodbye to our Grandmother (Mary), Jemma’s Father in-law (Nick), Lisa’s Mother in-law (Dorothy) & Daniel’s Girlfriend Jessica, who recently passed away shortly after her 22nd Birthday. Cancer is still one of the top causes of death in the world, so we are raising money to help fund more research and development. Any donations and support is very much appreciated. Support them in raising money and awareness by sharing their story and donating today. Link to donate - http://bit.ly/Dannys10k About Cancer Research Cancer Research are the world’s largest charity dedicated to saving lives through research. Over the last 40 years, cancer survival in the UK has doubled. In the 1970's just 1 in 4 people survived their disease for 10 years or more. Today 2 in 4 survive. Their ambition is to accelerate progress and see 3 in 4 patients surviving the disease by 2034.

Cycling to support Mind
Paul Haxell, a chartered Health and Safety Practitioner and IOSH Councillor, is cycling the 1200km Paris Brest Paris between 18th & 22nd August using the opportunity to raise funds for Mind under the Safety4Good umbrella. This epic cycling event traces its origins back to 1891 when only a hand full of French cyclists where allowed to ride. Today as an organised event it is run once every for years attracting thousands of riders worldwide. In its current form riders complete the 1200km inside a 90 hours’ time limit. That’s a cumulative 90 hours covering riding, eating, sleeping and all other eventualities. Not only is the event physically demanding it is mentally taxing with long periods in the saddle and not enough sleep. Often riders report issues with hallucinations and can resort to sleeping rough in hedges and fields on route. There are basic facilities on the route with mattresses and basic catering available, however they tend to be both cramped and noisy; not conducive to a good night’s sleep even if time allowed. Paul is currently putting considerable time in preparing for this event and is riding about 300 km each week with occasional long rides up to 600km (in 40hours) thrown in for good measure and of course continuing with a full work diary. Paul has selected Mind as his charity as “I am fortunate to have good mental health and have used sport as a form of relaxation and stress release over the years. The ride is known as a challenge in cycling circles, but the mental challenge is very significant. In the dead of night when its wet and cold you need to keep going when the sensible thing (what most people would do would be to stop) you just need to ignore those voices and keep going. I’m hope that through doing what has help me I can raise a good some to help others who are less fortunate.” Best of luck Paul from all of us at Safety4Good HQ- as Winston Churchill said "If you're going through hell, keep going!" Simon Bliss and the team at S4G. If you would like to support Paul please follow this link: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/PaulHaxell2

Shakira's Testimonials - Interim Specialist
Comments from our Clients “I have nothing but good things to say about Shakira and her colleagues at Principal People; they have been excellent. The customer service has been first class and they found the perfect Health & Safety role for me which has led to a permanent position. I am thankful for their support, guidance and the follow up calls to see how I was getting on. I would recommend them to anyone.” Interim H&S Manager - London-based College “Principal People provided the most professional of services. Shakira and Naz guided me through the contract negotiations with excellent advice. I would not hesitate in recommending Principal People for your next contract or permanent role.” Interim H&S Manager - Manufacturing Organisation "I recently had the pleasure of Shakira’s help in finding me a new role. Throughout the whole experience I was supported and kept in the loop. I have not had an interview in over 20 years due to working my way up in my previous company so moving to a new company was very daunting. I was contacted by Shakira and the process began, I cannot recommend Shakira enough and I have now landed my dream role this was all down to Shakira’s support and going above beyond to get me to this point."

Tough Mudder 2019 - THIS SUNDAY!
The Principal People team are raising money for Safety4Good this Sunday through the gruelling, muddy and labour intensive adventure that is the Tough Mudder! Having previously tackled the Tough Mudder in 2018, we have almost doubled the number of team members participating this year. A charity that we are specifically supporting thorugh Safety4Good is Great Ormand Street Hostpital. Get behind us by supporting GOSH through Safety4Good. See in the picture our bright white shirts that we will be wearing on Sunday - stay tuned for an update as to what they look like afterwards! SUPPORT US TODAY VIA DONATION TO OUR VIRGIN MONEY GIVING PAGE BY CLICKING ON THIS LINK WHY TOUGH MUDDER? Not only is it an intensely fun challenge and a great team event, but it is a perfect situation to support and lend a helping hand to team members. On reflection from 2018, every participant mentioned they experienced a moment where they didn't think they could succeed an obstacle if it were not for the assistance of a colleague. GREAT ORMAND STREET HOSPITAL Last year we based our challenge for our Operations Directors son, Oscar, who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 1. SMA is a rare genetic disorder which causes muscles to atrophy over time. Very sadly, this devastating disease is the biggest genetic killer of infants in the UK. SMA type 1 affected children, have historically had a 5% chance of survival past the age of 2. Most type 1’s are never able to sit unsupported and never develop the ability to crawl or walk. Due to Great Ormond Street and the incredible work they do, Oscar along with many other children across the world, has had access to the first drug of its kind as a treatment for the symptoms of SMA. In November, he turned 3, sitting for 12 minutes unsupported on his birthday! Not only are Great Ormond Street hugely personal to us at Principal People, but the work they do as world class health professionals for children is unprecedented. Great Ormond Street Hospital for children need to raise £90 million each and every year to contribute to life changing research, vital equipment and facilitate much needed redevelopment.

How to improve occupational health during the cold winter months
How to improve occupational health during the cold winter months We’re at that time of the year where we’re swapping our tee-shirts for thick jumpers and flip flops for solid winter boots. Ideally, this time of the year would be spent in bed with a hot cocoa and Netflix. But, as adults, we have to work to feed ourselves and contribute to society so a majority of us will be at work through the winter season. In terms of the workplace, health and safety is a major source of concern for businesses, especially those that require working outdoors. Not only can low temperatures affect the morale of your employees, also comes with some serious health hazards that you as an employer would need to address. Occupational health and safety advisors can advise you on your responsibility to your employees as well as steps to take to avoid accidents and near misses at work. This post is going to go through some of the health & safety issues that might arise during the winter months and how to handle them. Trips, slips and falls The main accomplices when it comes to accidents at work are trips, falls and slips. RIDDOR estimates the percentage of injuries caused by slips, trips and falls in 2017/18 accounted for almost 31% of the overall percentage of injuries that occurred in the workplace, these accidents can happen at any time of the year but it is more common during the winter seasons. Employers should be making a conscious effort to prevent ice build-up on walkways and anywhere else with pedestrian access. It might be worth investing a professional de-icing equipment to clear roads and walkways. Tips for avoiding slips, trips and falls: Keep walkways and other work areas clear Use signs to mark hazardous areas around the workplace Address spillage immediately Use two or more people when moving heavy loads (to secure your surroundings) If your work requires time outdoors – wear footwear with heavy threads to increase traction. Frostbites and hypothermia Frostbites and hypothermia are a common consequence of working outdoors in the cold weather. Both can have long-term effects if not addressed immediately, some signs to look out for include: Shivering Shaking Lack of coordination Drowsiness Slurred speech Blisters Numb skin Joints and muscle stiffness Tips for avoiding frostbites and hypothermia: Layer clothing Eat and drink hot or warm foods and liquids Wear eye protection Cold and Flu Colds and flus are probably the most common consequence of the winter season. They're caused by viral infections and tend to spread more in the colder months with closed doors and windows as well as limited ventilation. Employee wellbeing The winter months bring with it morale problems, stress and depression issues. Investing in the wellness of your employees means that employers and managers are trained to respond to signs of stress. If you would like any additional advice as to how best to keep yourself or your workforce safe and healthy during the winter months, please contact Peninsula.

Business Partnering - Senior Leadership Event
Last Thursday we held a Senior HSE Leadership event which was focused on the concept of business partnering within HSE. Delivered by Taylor Clarke, the presentation challenged our participants, along with expanding their thought processes and opening network opportunities in discussing the issues with likeminded peers. We would like to say thank you to the HSE leaders who attended, who each brought a unique opinion to their table and participated in educated and knowledgeable debates. We believe in providing thought provoking sessions for industry leaders to continue their professional development and feel that they were all able to take something away following the event. If you would be interested in attending similar events, please get in touch with the team on 01252 759 162!

Working for Principal People - What are the benefits?
The culture our team have nourished is the most important factor to the health of our business. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a high performing, hardworking team who do everything they can to exceed our candidates and client’s expectations. When you are earning great money in a job that you love, it can often be the little things that make all the difference to boost you even further. Recruitment can be very tough and is a demanding job, therefore, it is critical for us to give back to our team. The picture above shows in detail our benefits package that we are very pleased to offer.

Cycling Competition
Principal People have set themselves the challenge to consecuatively cycle 10 miles per week as a team. We aim to do this from now - right up until the end of the year. We will be noting the measurable outcomes from the challenge, such as if it boosts performance and if team members feel generally fitter. Evaluating wellbeing and setting fitness goals is useful to our team as we try to influence happier, fitter lifestyles as much as possible. Can you recommend us a challenge / new fitness goal?

Beach Clean Project- Success!
Principal People team have enjoyed a fantastic couple of days down at the Witterings. As well as having two well-earned days out the office, we were “doing our bit” for the environment and community by clearing the beach of plastic and many other waste items. The team were fantastic, committing many hours in the heat to clear the beach after one of the hottest weekends in years and in preparation for the school holidays. Once the hard work was done, and the many bags of waste and recycling disposed of the team were rewarded with BBQ and refreshments and were even able to fit in a game of football and dip in the sea before it was time to head home. As a business we’re committed to making a difference; to our candidates, our clients, each other and the environment. Each team is pledging 3 positive changes to their working day to help the environment and we’re already having exciting discussions to see where we can help next quarter. Wellbeing is extremely important to all of us, and nothing aids this more than helping others too!

PP Beach Clean-Up Day 1!
PP team members set off today incredibly determined to tackle the ever-increasing issue that is plastic waste and rubbish along our coastlines and in our oceans. They piled up bags upon bags of thrown away items which were discarded into the sea or left behind on the beaches, carefully selecting recyclables as well as the non-recyclable waste. We hope to make a small difference towards a big problem. Tomorrow, more team members from PP embark on their journey to the beach to collect rubbish and we hope to have an equally, if not more, successful day.

Beach Clean-Up - Tackling Ocean Pollution
The Principal People team are on a mission to make a difference. During the early hours on the 9th and 10th of July the team are travelling down to Wittering beach to collect the litter and rubbish that has collected upon the shoreline. We hope to make a small difference towards a very big problem to which we only hope to inspire other people to help to tackle. In three decades, the world's oceans will contain more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight. It’s not just Oceans either, the link attached shows how bad the plastic and waste has become in a canal in Southall, London. We rely on the ocean heavily, it produces over 70% of the earths oxygen and we are killing it with plastic. Follow us over the next few weeks on Linkedin where we will show you an insight as to the problems we are facing caused by ocean pollution as well as some of the dramatic case studies linked to it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-43580287/the-rubbish-floating-on-london-s-grand-union-canal

Work hard, play hard
Principal People certainly caused a splash at their team incentive last Friday! On the 1st of June we held our team incentive activity as a celebration of the phenomenal work that the team delivered in the months before. Consistently, the team have smashed their targets and overachieved enormously. Client and candidate relationships did not just remain maintained but instead improved continually. Unbeatable performance clearly showed huge successes. Our activity on the day was an inflatable assault course at Thorpe Lakes Aqua Park - which was absolutely incredible! Team members let their hair down, enjoyed some fun in the sun and had a fantastic time laughing at everyone falling into the water from the obstacles. After the activity we then enjoyed a three-course luxury meal at a restaurant in Chertsey, washed down with exotic cocktails and sumptuous drinks. After all of the hard work the team had put in, it was absolutely wonderful to relax in the company of each other and enjoy spending time in the presence of such determined, successful and incredible individuals.

Mental health and wellbeing
Last year at the Safety and Health Expo, we openly encouraged safety professionals to share their knowledge and tips as to how to maintain wellbeing both personally and of that in an organisation. We wanted to know their secrets as to keeping themselves fit and healthy and their minds proactive and happy. Many of the people we asked had 'wellbeing' in their job title - so we knew we were asking the experts. Writing all of their thoughts down in a little yellow book, we managed to collect over 150 entries. Below you will find a few of my handpicked favourites. "Offer employees extended lunch breaks once a week to allow them the opportunity to keep fit and boost productivity" "Remember to smile" "Work with your staff, consult and include them regarding wellbeing. Always feedback to them and do what you say you are going to do" "Provide free fruit and cereal to all on site in the morning to deter from the traditional fry up!" "Take an hour for lunch. Sleep for 8 hours. Take an annual holiday (with no calls and emails!)" "We put ping-pong tables outside of our hospital so that everyone can come and play" "Implement a behavioural based safety system for how people work / play outside of the workplace. I.e. encouragement to step back and think twice. Provide incentives for home use and eat your 5 a day." "Make the link between Corporate Responsibility, HR and H&S so you can provide activities, support colleagues and provide proactive interventions - multidisciplinary groups are more likely to get things done. Sharing the load" "Work life balance" "Mindfulness classes at lunch time" "More monitoring for mental illness, especially in the construction industry." "Have a wellbeing champion who is approachable in each area with knowledge of health and first aid" "Giving people the time and confidence to voice their opinions. This could be achieved by engaging the workforce and creating a H&S approach that is user friendly"

Maintaining fitness - circuit training
Following on from last month’s wellbeing week, we are maintaining our weekly fitness rota's nicely. We now have yoga sessions and circuit training on alternating weeks which all staff can attend. Today’s activity is circuit training and we have a fantastic variety of our team confirmed for participation. We have made the team aware that this is not a competition, nor do we have any performance expectations for any involved, our motive from running these sessions is purely so that they can challenge themselves and smash their own personal goals in relation to keeping fit. "A healthy body partners a healthy mind."
