Group Description
Health and Safety Forum is an open forum for members of the Electricity Supply Industry to discuss health and safety matters and learn from each other.
The Electricity Distribution Sector has a Health and Safety meeting every three months, to find out more contact Maarten Tinsel – maarten.tinsel@omexon.co.nz.
We do the standard baseline at pre-employment for ears, lungs, eyes, musculoskeletal, cholesterol, BP.
This is generic across all field staff and clearly not all are related to understanding impact of risk exposure and control efficacy (e.g. eyes).
Improvements we are working towards is to understand whether this is adequate for ECP46, whether we need to create cohorts of similar risk (e.g. only a small subset would be likely to be exposed to risk of NIHL but we test all and a small subset are exposed to potentially harmful wood dust which we may not be doing enough to monitor).
