A note from the Chairman - May 2020

Dear members

We are still in the grip of this virus but hopefully we are past the peak and that things will start to get back to normal. Phase 1 of the lifting of restrictions should be going ahead from Monday 18th May and many more businesses will be back at work. The government has laid down some rules about returning to work based around awareness, modifications in work practices and risk assessment. We have attached a PDF of a basic Risk Assessment that you may download and use as it is or use it as guidance to formulate your own Risk Assessment.

For those of you that work at construction sites, to gain entry, you will be required to complete an on-line induction course. There is a link below to access this. Use your mobile number to log in. Follow the steps and watch the 10 minute presentation. There will be a few questions at the end and if answered correctly you will be forwarded a training card to your phone. See mine below. We would recommend that everyone complete this induction.

Keep well and thank you all again for your essential work in these unprecedented times.

A note from the Chairman - October

Hi Everybody,

Following on from last months ‘Note’, we have had a lot of queries about CPE points. The year is nearly over and people are panicking over if they have enough points and may not be completely sure of the way points must be collected. ‘A’ points are fairly straight forward, attend an approved course or two and they are covered, however the ‘C’ points which make up one fifth of the overall points for the year are a little more elusive. So let me try to explain as best I can. The ‘A’ points are 40 per annum of which at least 20 of them need to be related to rodent control, CRRU and Legislation relating to rodent control.
