Guide to Managing Health and Safety in Your Workplace
In support of Small Business Advice Week here in the UK, we’ve put together this quick guide offering tips and guidance on how to better manage health and safety in your workplace.
Why should you manage workplace health and safety?
Accidents and work-related ill-health affect all types of workplaces and occupations.
Poor health and safety management can lead to high costs in terms of sick pay, absence and claims for compensation. SME’s can also find themselves facing criminal prosecution and harm to both business reputation and profitability.
The vast majority of occupational injuries, incidents and ill health are avoidable with good health and safety management.
However, good health and safety management can lead to an improved wider organisational health and safety culture.
Our range of workplace courses are designed to improve the skills and knowledge of your workforce and are tailored to suit your business needs.
