Thames Hospice is the local charity providing
expert care for people living with life-limiting
illnesses in East Berkshire and South
Buckinghamshire. A vital part of their work is
also supporting their loved ones.
They care for the physical, social and
psychological needs of their patients, not just
the condition. Their highly skilled medical team
work with the patient, their family and carers, to
develop a complete programme of care tailored
to their individual needs.
It costs more than £7million every year to keep
the Hospice running. Thames Hospice rely on
80% of their income from charitable donations,
which enables them to provide their services
free of charge, 365 days a year, to the people
who need them.

How aware
are you of
the hazards
in your office
environment?
The majority of common workplace hazards are
related to equipment and tasks that we use or
perform every day, so it becomes easy to be
complacent about them.
Complacency can lead to the risk that we
will injure ourselves or a colleague, or cause
damage to our workplace.
A high proportion of workplace accidents occur
in so-called ‘low risk’ environments, such as
offices, leading to lost time off work, insurance
claims, plus of course injury and upset to
employees.

Slips and trips, working at height, manual
handling and DSE are all major causes of
workplace accidents and ill health. It’s therefore
a good idea to put in place control measures
to ensure these seemingly obvious risks are
managed.
International Workplace has recently launched
a brand new introductory course on health and
safety, which aims to get employees up to speed
on their Health and Safety responsibilities within
40 minutes. Get in touch now to find out how
they can help.
