    FORD AUTOTEAM THE MAGAZINE FOR ALL FORD DEALER STAFF ISSUE 3/2016 EDITORIAL Changing Times It’s all change for the management team at the Henry Ford Academy. Stuart Harris has moved on to a new position within Ford of Europe and, as I move into his role, I hope to continue with his goal of driving up training standards. Also joining the team is new Academy Principle, Kevin Perks, who brings with him a lifetime of automotive industry experience. Dan Savoury, the new Vice Principal, joined the Academy earlier this year and also has a wealth of industry and training experience that will help us continue to improve our training which, in turn, benefits your business. I hope to use the experience gained in my previous sales and marketing roles within Ford to help our training continue to grow in scope and quality. It is a really exciting time to be a part of the Ford family; with new vehicles joining the range and new technology transforming the industry more widely. Good training is vital to our success and we continue to strive to achieve the highest standards and keep you up to date with this rapidly changing industry, from the technical training for the All-new Ford Mustang detailed on page 4, to ensuring our Commercial Vehicle Sales staff can give their customers the best advice with courses such as Commercial Vehicle Type Approval and Legislation on page 30. The success of our training programmes is demonstrated in this issue, with Chelsea Riddle from TrustFord in Bradford a great example of what the Ford Masters Apprenticeship scheme offers to young people, or the success that Mike Gates from Dinnages Ford in Burgess Hill has achieved with a university scholarship through the Henry Ford Academy.

    CRR 446/2002 a Study of the Provision of Health and Safety Information in the Annual Reports of the Top UK Companies

    HSE Health & Safety Executive A study of the provision of health and safety information in the annual reports of the top UK companies Prepared by System Concepts Ltd for the Health and Safety Executive CONTRACT RESEARCH REPORT 446/2002 HSE Health & Safety Executive A study of the provision of health and safety information in the annual reports of the top UK companies Laura Peebles, Ansgar Kupper and Tanya Heasman System Concepts Ltd 2 Savoy Court Strand London WC2R 0EZ This report details the findings of a research project to investigate the quality and quantity of health and safety information found in the annual reports of the top UK companies. At present, publicly listed companies are not legally required to include health and safety matters in their annual reports. The current Health and Safety Commission (HSC) Strategy Statement, however, contains an action point which focuses on public reporting of health and safety issues by larger companies. The aim is to promote the reporting of health and safety information in company annual reports and to provide guidance that would allow reporting of such information to a common standard. To assist the HSC with this strategy, System Concepts were commissioned by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to undertake an investigation of the provision of health and safety information in company annual reports. The study comprised a series of steps. The main objectives of the study were: i) To determine the current level of reporting of health and safety issues in annual reports of the top UK companies ii) To determine the quality of health and safety information reported.
