Safety Health and the Environment
On a mirror in the Gents toilet in a company office I visited there was a sign:
"You are looking at the person responsible for your safety"

When I visit some locations I have to use appropriate boots, helmet and high visibility jacket. Sometimes I then see people hurriedly getting their own. They know what they should be doing; they simply aren't doing it. Health and Safety needs to be part of the company's culture.

Harso have said to me that if people register on the link above, Harsco individually approve access and within a short space of time the system is available to the user.
