IOSH Medical Safety Group
MD Terry Broughton, is regularly invited to address Regional Safety Groups. These presentations are usually focused around the safe use of industrial gases.
He was recently invited to address the Medical Safety Group that meets as part of the IOSH (Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) North West Branch.
The group was founded by safety officers working within the NHS when Crown Immunity was lifted in order to share ‘Best Operating Practices’ amongst Trusts as well as providing a ‘self help’ forum for safety professionals working within the Healthcare sector.
The group has delegates travelling from all over the North of England and it’s meetings are very well subscribed.
Terry’s presentation focused upon ‘Pressure Points’ regarding the safe handling, storage, transportation and use of both medical and cryogenic gases within a hospital environment.
The presentation was designed to run for just over an hour but actually lasted for nearly two hours due to the number of questions asked and the inter-group discussions that were generated by the content of the talk.
If you have any safety questions concerning medical gases or if you would like some information on our range of medical gas workshops please contact us on 01270 758890
BOC Compliance Workshop
The law requires an organisation to provide whatever information, instruction and training is needed to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of its employees.
Current market conditions and economic pressures can sometimes divert attention away from the key issue of safety compliance.
It is also difficult to ensure that staff and operators are up to date with relevant Legislation as well as industry Codes of Practice and Guidance Notes.
In an effort to assist BOC’s customers Gas Safe recently designed a half day Compliance Workshop aimed at Operations and Safety Managers. The training provides key information that will assist delegates with their gas related health and safety obligations under current legislation.
This new workshop was ‘trialled’ in late November at BOC’s state of the art Technical Centre in Wolverhampton. The session was attended by 25 invited clients whose job descriptions varied from Safety Directors to Operations Managers and Production Supervisors.
The workshop was extremely well received. MD Terry Broughton conducted the classroom and interactive led sessions whilst BOC’s Technical Specialist Phil Sant conducted a practical demonstrations using an oxy-acetylene workstation (see image).

Cryogenic Nitrogen in Molecular Cooking - EIGA Safety Information
The use of liquid nitrogen in molecular cooking at restaurants, exhibitions, trade fairs and other related events is growing and you can often watch food being prepared using the cryogenic temperatures. This is an event intended for spectators but often the safety measures taken are inadequate and fail to properly control the risks to both the chef and possible spectators.
The Safety Advisory Council of EIGA (SAC) has received a report of an accident in connection with molecular cooking that resulted in severe injuries to a trainee chef. SAC wants to inform potential users about the hazards of using cryogenic liquids at extreme subzero temperatures for cooking demonstrations and has therefore prepared this safety information sheet.
