HSfB Prize Draw - How Can We Give Things Away for Free?

I have often been asked how can we possibly give things away for free in our Prize Draw, so I thought I'd create this blog post to explain exactly how it works.

As a bit of background information on HSfB, if you have a spare five minutes, grab a cuppa and have a read of these pages which describes the story of HSfB from the beginning....

HSfB in the Beginning...

About Us

For those of you without five minutes, basically it all started with my own personal injury at work that started me asking the question of 'why was I allowed to be injured at work?' All I did on that Friday was go to work. My life shouldn't have changed that day, but it did. My passion for helping protect people at work from injury or ill-health began.

The prizes given away are quite literally products or services donated by organisations who share with our passion for protecting people at work. Of course there is the publicity side of things, but that's what sponsorship is all about. Sponsors donate, we give it away, you benefit and HSfB grows to help more people. Easy!

I know there are some sceptics out there who think I'm making a mint from this and that's OK. But, I work during the day at my day job as a H&S Advisor to pay the mortgage, feed the kids and the dog, and to just get on with things. HSfB does not earn millions of ££!

I just thought it important to at least give you an insight into how the draw works and why we do it. Sometimes things in life really are free. Granted it's very rare, but it's here at HSfB.

Please share this article on Twitter, Facebook, Stumblupon or anything else you use and help us to grow to help more and more people come home safely from work every single day.

Thanks for reading.

Prize Draw 1 Update and Photos - Manual Handling Course

The manual handling train the trainer course was the first prize drawn for the 2008/2009 draw we had in November 2008. The prize schedule shows the year plan, click HERE to see the schedule.

As there were six winners originally, it proved a bit of a challenge trying to get everybody together in one place at the same time. So we had to agree a date that suited the trainer and kind prize contributor, Paul Donaldson of Health Environment and Risk Training, the date also had to suit everybody else and their busy schedules. Not only that but we had delegates who travelled a great distance, so that was a consideration as well.

The venue was the Business Gateway units in Camperdown Street, City Quay, Dundee with some great views and breakout areas into the bargain (pics below).

This was all done via dozens of emails. Dates were agreed and changed several times, one or two people had to give up their prize for one reason or another with new winners drawn from the hat.

But! Many emails later and a bit of determination and patience, we all finally managed to get together on Monday 11 May 2009!

The course was brilliant to say the least. Paul's training technique was very relaxed, friendly, down-to-earth and a bit of good humour into the bargain. I would personally recommend Paul's services at the drop of a hat and from what I've heard, Paul's NEBOSH General Certificate course is definitely worth its weight in gold.

It was great to meet up with visitors to HSfB and put a name to the face. A really interesting bunch. Photo's of the venue and delegates below.

Overall, a great day full of laughs, discussions on running marathons (sorry, my bad!), oh and we managed to squeeze in some manual handling train the trainer training ;).

My personal thanks to Paul and everybody who made it along to make the day such a memorable and educational day.

From the left we have......

Ian Brown, Sandra Johnston, Bruce Stark, Ged Keane, Simon Severn, Paul Donaldson and me, John Johnston.



Some great views from the venue in Dundee, but I'm not sure why I took a picture of the coat hanger!
