🚨 HSE Visits Berkshire Business – Inspection Campaign Underway 🚨
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a major inspection campaign targeting motor vehicle repair businesses using isocyanate-based paints — the leading cause of occupational asthma in the UK.
Every year, paint sprayers develop life-changing asthma that can end their careers. Once sensitized, even the smallest exposure can trigger serious and potentially dangerous attacks.

🔍 Inspectors will be focusing on:
• Compliance with COSHH regulations
• Effective controls to minimise exposure
• Safe spraying procedures
• Health surveillance & biological monitoring (including urine testing) — both legal requirements

✅ Strong controls and proper monitoring don’t just keep you compliant, they protect your team and their future.

⚠️ Safety isn’t optional. It’s essential.

See ​https://press.hse.gov.uk for more information

Additionally, If you’re unsure whether your controls and monitoring meet current standards, we can help you review your processes and stay compliant.

Exciting news! Silk is moving to a new office location as of the 1st March 2025 🎉
