On 14th December 2009 Adam Wade -Managing Director – took the plunge to start his own Health and Safety Consultancy. Now a 9-person strong team with plans for further growth very soon. AW Safety are always keen to add talent and expertise to the team, with 6 of the 9 employees all working and living here in Edwinstowe, we are in a fortunate position to promote local jobs in support of our local economy.

With the expansion of our services in addition to H&S Consultancy and Training, we have diversified into providing Portable Appliance Testing, PPE and Fire extinguisher servicing all of which were recently added to our repertoire.

With a firm belief in sustaining our rapid growth and plans for future expansion of our Training Division, AW Safety took the decision to recruit a Training Co-ordinator to further strengthen its team. As such we would like to welcome Craig Cambell the latest addition to the AW Safety family who joined us this month.

We are really excited to welcome Craig into the close-knit team of professionals and introduce him to you. Craig will have the current training centre and expansion responsibilities, bringing with him his wealth of experience in the H&S training and teaching sector. We are looking forward to sharing with you our plans for new and exciting courses….watch this space!!!

The HSE have identified six main areas that lead to work related stress.

• Demands – of the job or superiors
• Control (lack of) – the way they work
• Support – don’t receive enough information or support
• Relationships – being bullied, harassed or troubled relationships

• Change – not engaged properly when the business is going through change – poor management, poor culture

An ACAS poll found that most causes of workplace stress was; their workload, their work / life balance and the way they are managed.
