Safety of pressure systems Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR) cover the safe design and use of pressure systems. The aim of PSSR is to prevent serious injury from the hazard of stored energy (pressure) as a result of the failure of a pressure system or one of its component parts. The revised PSSR ACOP and guidance is aimed at duty holders under PSSR who are involved with pressure systems used at work. Autoclaves are pressure vessels with lids or doors, arranged for regular access. They are used in a variety of processes, where products are placed inside the vessel and subjected to greater than atmospheric pressures and, in most cases, elevated temperatures. This guidance has been prepared in response to two fatalities. It covers industrial autoclaves and is aimed at all employers, supervisors and managers responsible for the safe operation and maintenance of these devices. It specifically addresses the risks associated with safeguarding, training and maintenance. It can also help Notified Bodies (responsible for conformity assessment) and Competent Persons (devising written schemes of thorough examination) to assess the autoclave and identify measures for risk reduction. Taylor organisation ltd complies with all applicable laws and guidance from the HSE with regards to autoclave maintenance, servicing and usage across it's FOOT CARE branded stores. Autoclaves in use at FOOT CARE premises are maintained to conform to the correct levels. For further information: compliance@Taylororganisation.org

Podiatry versus chiropody We are often asked what is the difference? What is the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist? A chiropodist / podiatrist diagnoses and treats disorders, diseases and deformities of the feet. The two titles are often interchangeable, especially in the UK. The title of chiropodist is usually the older name for a podiatrist. The title of chiropodist and podiatrist are both protected titles in law! Why the two titles? It is understood that while both terms are the same, that the UK and the USA led the way with the term podiatrist. This was due to confusion in the late 50's and 60's with chiropractors and chiropodists. To resolve confusion the term podiatry was continued. The majority of those that gained qualification in the 1990's will be known as podiatrists, although for the purposes of advertising services; they may use the title of chiropodist. Is there a regulator for podiatrists and chiropodists? Yes, in the early 2000's the HCPC [health care professions council] became a regulator of the profession and anyone regulated by them had to undergo a recognised qualification To make things even more confusing, there are also foot health practitioners or aka fhp's. Fhp's aren't regulated by the HCPC but do a lot of what would be classed as routine foot care, such as nail cutting for example. Fhp's may or may not be registered with an alternative body, as it isn't a requirement for them to do so. Examples of this may be: www.footreg.org , or the professional standards website. So who do I need for my foot ailment? This will depend, in part, what the issue is. Speak to the branch directly on our clinic locations page . Or speak to our podiatry manager through the enquiry page , our podiatrists can provide a full and thorough consultation in clinic and advise you on the appropriate practitioner to see, it may be continued care on a plan with them or for lesser problems and within the remit of an alternative practitioner.
