Earlier this week, The Co-op were fined £400,000 after pleading guilty to a Health and Safety offence, which resulted in the death of 74 year-old Stanley May in July 2015. May had been visiting the Supermarket's Truro branch, where a faulty chiller was leaking for 44 hours, causing the pensioner to fall and sustain a head injury which led to his death.
Although this example is one of many health and safety prosecutions to be made in recent weeks, this case is all the more tragic and concerning due to it's highly preventable nature. In all public spaces and work areas, it is important to remember that slips, trips and falls are one of the most common hazards to impact both employees and members of the public. It seems that due to the domestic nature of these incidents, their seriousness is often underestimated by organisations, causing health and safety standards to fall below the required level and allowing incidents to occur.
This case demonstrates that slips, trips and falls can be fatal to those who are put at risk, which highlights the vital need to maintain and execute health and safety measures which prevent these incidents. This can be done by correctly following a set of simple but effective health and safety measures, including the following:
- Training & Communication - Staff should be kept well informed of health and safety measures, and should always communicate the need for action when additional measures are needed to maintain standards.
- Maintenance of Equipment - A contributing factor in this case was the faulty store equipment, which had been unsuccessfully fixed and left to cause the hazard which led to Mr May's death. It is vital that all equipment is efficiently maintained and inspected to prevent such hazards, and effectively dealt when a potential risk is detected.
- Clear Warnings - Although a wet floor sign had been placed near the leaking chiller, the effected area extended beyond this point, rendering the warning ineffective. In addition to using the proper safety signage, more steps should be taken when to deal with the issue, including restricting access to the area completely if the hazard cannot be controlled with visual warnings alone.

Ammonia is a dangerous substance, which means that a thorough risk assessment must be conducted in areas where ammonia pipes are present, in order to ensure that possible hazards are managed efficiently.
What are the Risks Posed by Ammonia?
- Ammonia gas can be fatal when inhaled, at a level of just 1 part in 2,000 of ammonia in the air.
- It dissolves into water, forming a corrosive solution that can cause serious burns.
- It is highly reactive, which means that contact with certain materials such as acids and aldehydes can make it even more dangerous.
- It is an environmental pollutant, which means it has the ability to contaminate the natural environment and cause adverse change.
In order to avoid these potential hazards causing damage, injury or even death, it is important to ensure that ammonia pipes are properly marked! This can easily be achieved by using the correct labels, in order to provide clear indication of ammonia where present.
Here at Label Source, we stock a variety of pipeline identification products, which includes a selection of ammonia pipe labels:
Identification Tape
This tape is manufactured to BS1710 and BS4800 standards, and comes in the recommended colour scheme (22C37).
Pipeline Flow Labels
These ammonia pipe labels have detachable directional arrows, which are used to inform you of the flow direction, the pipe contents and the relevant hazards. Due to its various hazards, the ammonia label is available with both toxic and corrosive hazard symbols.
