William had a go at replacing some decayed putty round one of our office windows. But we now know that magpies are attracted to putty containing linseed oil, as theyโ€™ve been pecking away all week and eaten all Williamโ€™s handiwork ๐Ÿ˜‚. So in the midst of a busy week which started on Islay and is ending with report writing, William googled and came up with a โ€œsolutionโ€. See photo - look closely ๐Ÿ˜‰.
When Matthew spotted the โ€œsolutionโ€ he said โ€œhmmm, wondered why you were looking at cats online, but thought itโ€™s just another Mondayโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚. Every day must be Monday ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Over 2500 miles done in the past two weeks carrying out functional safety trip testing in various locations throughout the UK, all incident free ๐Ÿ˜‡. Final vehicle charge of the week back at home, 200 metres from the office, and these 4 legged beauties triggered the car security ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽ.
A DSEAR review in a local printworks on Thursday and a bottling machine PUWER assessment on Friday. Then, a LOT of report writing ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿค“ ๐Ÿ“š ๐Ÿ“š ๐Ÿ“š

Nice to have you back Hannah, if only for a brief visit ๐Ÿฅฐ

Weโ€™ve been super busy, catching up on lots of training. Guys have recently passed CompEx Ex11 recertification (delayed due to pandemic), and also catching up on site visits. Most of December will be spent catching up on reports.

This week the boys are in Yorkshire doing a DSEAR review on the absolutely baltic North Sea coast โ„๏ธ.
Then theyโ€™ve 2 days training on CE / UKCA compliance before heading back home.

Hello! Quick update to say weโ€™re still here and adhering to Scot Gov guidance. Fortunately weโ€™re managing to function relatively normally, with the inclusion of many more Teams based meetings while primarily working from home. The guys have pretty much covered the whole of the UK over the past 3 weeks including Shetland & Mull.

Exciting news is we have one MSc gained and one MSc commenced - congratulations ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ to William & good luck ๐Ÿ€ to Matthew ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ“š. Other news is we have gone green with a new vehicle. The old van has gone and the boys are loving electric life on the road. Unfortunately this week some thoughtless soul left their mark without any follow-up...

On the road again... ๐ŸŽถ
Well folks, with phase 3 and hygiene / distancing measures in place, weโ€™re off again. Matthew is on his C&G machinery safety training course this week and William is commencing client visits again. The long list of postponed appointments will be reworked shortly and weโ€™ll be back to (post-Covid) normal. Stay safe ๐Ÿ˜ท

24/06/2020

Well... it has been a while! We hope everyone is well. Just prior to lockdown we were extremely busy with work, courses, post-grad studies (and illness too). We have of course been working in the background on a backlog of reports and weโ€™ve successfully conducted some online DSEAR assessments / HAZOPS / PUWER where this has been possible. This has proved very workable and is an option we are keen to pursue in future, not only to protect our staff and clients, but also with a view to cutting our carbon footprint.
Current Scottish Government guidance is that non essential offices are unlikely to be allowed to open before 23rd July. As we have been, and are currently working from home, we intend to follow this guidance. Where our activities require us to be on site, we look forward to recommencing essential travel when the current COVID-19 restrictions allow us to do so. In the interim, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss any of your process safety, machinery safety or hazardous area safety enquiries.

Brrrr good morning ๐Ÿฅถ. Guys are shortly heading south to Merseyside for a DSEAR audit (Shap should be interesting โ„๏ธ๐Ÿš™). Later in the week we have a DSEAR review of a powder coating / paint spray booth in central Scotland - if they get back ๐Ÿ˜‰. Have a lovely, safe week ๐Ÿ˜Š.

William felt the need for some motivational
music this morning - what you canโ€™t see is him can-canning on the conference tables while Matthewโ€™s recovering from his stint ๐Ÿ’ƒ.
Shhhh ๐Ÿคซ due to a clientโ€™s legal boffs playing silly we have an unexpected week in the office for some much needed catch up time. Thursday weโ€™re in a spirit blending room for a HAZOP. Have a great week.
