The Tool Kit Approach 

The Health & Safety Executive recommends that all work activity be subjected to a methodical risk assessment. Once this is competed you can decide what tools are available to you to minimise the risks identified. We have to bar in mind however that the tools available may be limited by your companies resources or finance, However this is not an excuse to do nothing.

We have seen companies place every employee on a driver training course. Often this occurs when bad advice has been offered or a poor risk assessment carried out. We need to ensure the correct tool is  being used to solve the problem. A diamond tipped circular saw maybe very expensive and very good at cutting metal but would you use it to open a tin of baked beans?
