An unscheduled change this week following a situation that unfolded following a recent tik tok post.A video was posted on our tik tok channel that lead to a very large number of comments that were abusive/misogynistic/rude and some that highlighted a lack of understanding of health and safety from a moral, legal or financial view so we decided we needed to discuss this with our listeners to break it down. It also, as humans, had an impact on us and we felt a way to process it was to share our experience with you as the people on the end of the abuse and show the impact it can have.Please do feel free to get in touch with your views on this, we're always happy to have a discussion.Daisy & Lynsey x
Welcome to episode 42. We're on a good run with the Management Regulations and this episode we're on to regulation 9 - It's a pretty self explanatory regulation for once so it's a shorter episode this time but you're in for a mixed in chit chat with Lynsey & Daisy.We hope you enjoy this episode and we look forward to hearing from you if you would like to get in touch via instagram, email or our tik tok.Keep safe.Lynsey & Daisy x

Welcome to episode 38. This week is another special where Lynsey gets to chat to Gary Pharo from Sundstrom Safety about all things RPE.RPE can be a vital part of your control measures but is a topic that is so massive that very few people truly understand it.

In this special episode, Daisy talks with Gill through her personal experiences, her book and her hopes for future systemic change. Thanks for listening.
