Evacuation versus invacuation
...which contributed to the escalation of the incident, but one of the main ones was that evacuation systems failed. The workers aboard Piper Alpha had been told to make their way to the lifeboat stations but fire blocked their way. The Fire and Blast Information Group identified that, through lack of training or instruction (the PA system was broken), workers decided the only way to get out was to jump from the rig into the sea. Five men even jumped from the helideck, 175ft above the sea, to try and escape the blaze, but only two of them survived the fall. Following Piper Alpha, all offshore installatio...

What are the benefits of taking a mediated approach to dispute resolution? It can be and almost inevitably is faster than taking the Employment Tribunal route. The second thing is that it's much less costly for everybody involved including the State. It's less adversarial to the parties, ...

...rial, much of the debate over the case surrounded the maintenance agreement between the contractor Interserve and the Council, which services were covered in that contract and who within the Council had the responsibility of negotiating the contract.

A common complaint from her is that they don't l...

What is reasonable adjustment?
...ook at is as a one off, a snap shot of a building or a service that, once complete, you place in a file marked compliance. Compliance requires regular review; you need the management or somebody responsible for access issues to keep looking at regulations, to keep looking at their procedures, their training, etc." Another question that is often asked is just what a reasonable adjustment is. Once again the Act "does generally tell you what is reasonable, it might vary from one provider to another but the principle remains the same.
