HELPING INDUSTRY ENSURE A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
20 September 2006 - BOC Gases

The bocsafety.net site provides solutions to health and safety related challenges across a range of UK sectors including the automotive and marine industries, heavy industry, light engineering, general welding and metal cutting, and research and development. Says Martin Passingham, BOC Industrial market manager, “The bocsafety.net site aims to be a trusted source of advice and information, helping industrial operators work to legal compliance and to ensure a safer working environment”.

“bocsafety.net helps operators and managers keep in touch with the law through guides to all relevant legal requirements, solve specific or general safety-related problems, and identify risks and unsafe practices in the workplace whilst offering best practice guidance.”

Key issues covered on bocsafety.net include:

• the safe use of gas and gas equipment
• safe storage of gas cylinders
• site safety
• risk assessment
• ventilation and temperature control
• transportation
• cryogenics
• working in confined spaces.

Well known for its focus on safety, BOC Industrial uses the extensive experience of its own safety experts, engineers, and technicians, many of whom will support the site with advice and answers to online queries.

Dynes Woodrow, BOC Industrial’s marketing director, says: “The development of an online safety service is in response to the needs of BOC customers. We’ve developed the programme having conducted extensive BOC safety workshops and listening to what customers have to say in our day to day contact with them.”

Says Woodrow: “By providing solutions to a range of industries we have learned a great deal about the challenges people face in complying with legislation and ensuring a safe environment in which to work.”

“BOC Industrial has long been committed to the safety of its staff and the safe use of gases and gas equipment. Now, for the first time, bocsafety.net gathers our safety knowledge in one place so that anybody looking for tried and tested advice on issues such as the transport of dangerous goods or navigating through the maze of legislation relating to industrial gas products, can do so quickly and easily.”

Subscription to bocsafety.net costs just £12.50 per month (£150 per year) and is available on an annual basis only, with a one-off annual payment.
