Ask if they would include hands-on demonstrations for your staff on how to use a fire extinguisher. That is always a thrill! Ask you local hospital or red cross if they would give a talk and if they could bring a couple of dummies to practice first aid on. Then hold a competition where the winner gets his/her photo printed on a certificate and hung on your reception wall. Cheap. Fun. Hold a week long poll and ask your staff to list all the potential hazards in your work place and how to best rectify the situation with the least cost. Select the best suggestion and give the winner a day off plus a free meal for his family?

The introduction to the Act reads: An Act to make further provision for securing the health, safety and welfare of persons at work, for protecting others against risks to health or safety in connection with the activities of persons at work, for controlling the keeping and use and preventing the unlawful acquisition, possession and use of dangerous substances, and for controlling certain emissions into the atmosphere; to make further provision with respect to the employment medical advisory service; to amend the law relating to building regulations, and the Building (Scotland) Act 1959; and for connected purposes. The Act created the Health and Safety Commission and the Health and Safety Executive. The Act creates some corporate offenses, and shared resposibility of any offenders.

The Act also introduced a "safety levy" payable by the railways (amended since privatisation) The Act created the Medical Advisory Service, and change building regulations.

In fact you must have a small gap to keep the fence from resting on the ground which would cause wood rot and rapid deterioration of the fence. The easiest way to find out is by Contacting the Building Department for you Town, City or County. They will have the current specifications regarding a fence. Sounds like you have a not so nice neighbor who is going to cause trouble, best you check things out, and then try to calm her down........you are going to be neighbors for possibly a LONG time and it is my experience that you need to live in some sort of harmony.
