arrangements and report accidents, display the law poster and get insurance for their business.

INDG453 Reporting accidents and incidents at work A brief guide to the Reporting of

diagnosed industrial disease and certain ‘dangerous occurrences’ (near-miss accidents). There
are also special requirements for gas incidents. This leaflet identifies what is required from
employers and provides updated information about the change from an over-three-day reporting
period to over-seven-day reporting period.

NAPO DVDs
NAPO DVDs are simply and graphically illustrated using wordless communication – they are particularly
useful for workers who do not have English as their first language.
NAPO in ... Safe maintenance 2010 978 0 7176 6322 4 £10.00*

NAPO and his workmates show us how not to do safe maintenance with this latest DVD, in a series of episodes relating to machinery and
building maintenance. As usual, there is a serious message behind the various cartoon mishaps, whether it is to lock-off machinery before
working on it, to avoid rushing jobs, or to take care on all jobs no matter what they are – even on what may seem like routine repairs.
NAPO in ... Protect your skin 2010 978 0 7176 6357 6 £10.00*
NAPO and his supporting cast provide us with another engaging film – this time reminding us how important our skin is in protecting our
bodies, and highlighting the various occupations and activities that can expose our skin to damage. NAPO shows us easy ways to protect the
skin from hazards – ranging from cement in building work, through to detergent in cleaning work, to the water and chemicals used in
hairdressing.
Napo in ... Risky business 2008 978 0 7176 6293 7 £10.00*
The film sets out the benefits of good health and safety practices through a number of short stories which use humour to help explain
important risk messages to a workforce. The film is likely to be most effective when it is used in a training environment.

Safe start ... featuring NAPO Ideal training for new workers 2007 978 0 7176 6219 7 £10.00*
This 3D animated DVD follows the hapless NAPO as he starts a new job. A series of amusing sketches show him getting to grips with his new
workplace – not always with flying colours! The film is ideal for training new and inexperienced workers and also cuts across language
barriers, as there are no speaking parts. It takes a light-hearted approach, but there are serious messages here, presented in a format that will
hold people’s attention.
Lighten the load featuring NAPO 2007 978 0 7176 6240 1 £10.00*
This DVD shows how to avoid musculoskeletal problems in the workplace. The series of animated scenes follow NAPO as he gets to grips with
various lifting and carrying situations. These serious messages are presented in a light-hearted manner and are ideal for training people,
especially those who don’t read or speak English well. The clips are short and easy to understand. Each scene points out the problem and its
solution. The emphasis is on engineering out bad practice and causes of strain and injury to achieve more efficient handling.
NAPO in … Safe moves NEW 2012 978 0 7176 6431 3 £15.00*
The film includes scenes about: site safety; people safety; vehicle safety; maintenance; visibility; reversing; loading/unloading. It is about effective
organisation and management and how senior managers need to plan, implement and monitor, assess risks and take appropriate action.
Employees also need to be well trained, well supervised, and co-operate with managers, so risks are reduced and hazards properly managed.

Asbestos building 2008 978 0 7176 6299 9 £7.50
The ‘asbestos building’ diagram featured in several HSE publications has proved so popular that we have reproduced it as a full-size poster.

typically be found. The information is aimed at people who own, occupy, manage or have responsibilities for premises that may contain
asbestos. It will also be useful to managers in companies who employ maintenance workers who work in buildings.
