This NEBOSH seminar was attended by VSNW. Lasting two hours it takes a long time to view. There is a section that can be ignored – unless you want to know how the British Safety Council test Covid visors. This interesting, but not very useful, section takes place between 50 minutes and 75 minutes into the session. It did make for a little light relief when drinking a mug of decaff.

 The first session, 45 minutes, dealt with office return. Much is obvious; much is already known. The most interesting comment (25 minutes in) is that visors are not PPE – they are Community Protective Equipment (CPE) which was a phrase I had not heard before.

 The final session – Mental Health and Grief in the workplace has many useful bits and pieces of information within it. This is well worth watching. The “funding professional” in me had ears pricking up at the suggestion for community based services. Here we have an expert sating that we are needed – a lovely clip to put into a funding proposal (and 9.22 into this section). They also made the point that there is a lot of “odd” stuff on the internet and that legitimate sources of support should be used.

 All in all a good use of time. The office return section may be useful to staff (re)induction as this takes place.
