MVR Best Practice Event
Brands Hatch
18 October 2010
20 October 2010
We held a very successful day in conjunction with the
HSE, Local Authorities and the Kent Fire & Rescue Service to
launch the new Common Approach to Vehicle Enterprise (CAVE)
scheme. Nearly 300 delegates attended over two sessions
including business owners, students, consultants, employees and
local authority inspectors which gave them an insight into what
inspectors will be looking for should they pay a
visit.
Over the next 12 weeks, 3-400 MVR businesses will be visited
under the new CAVE scheme by environmental officers from the local
authorities and HSE inspectors. They will give advice to garages on
how to comply with safety and maintenance standards, to help keep
employees safe and healthy at work. By focusing on the most common
causes of accidents –for example, poorly maintained lifting
equipment, dust and other substances that can lead to breathing
problems or dermatitis – it should help to cut the number of
incidents.
