Small Business Advice Week 

August 2017

This week marks Small Business Advice Week. The prestigious campaign, now its 14th year, aims to help the 4.5 million British SME’s thrive by offering expert advice on all areas of business operations. 

Small Business Advice Week attracts the attention of major brands, banks and organisations willing to offer advice to small businesses up and down the country, as well as media representatives keen to promote the positive event. 

The theme for this year’s campaign is ‘growth and productivity’. Major players will be offering valuable recommendations on how to optimise enterprises in light of the uncertainty created by Brexit.

Visit the Small Business Advice Week website for advice on all areas of your business. 

Do you need advice on Health and Safety?

HSE release latest statistics on workplace injuries in Great Britain

  • 137 workers killed at work and almost 73,000 reportable injuries.
  • 1.3 million employees suffering from work-related illness.
  • 30.4 million working days lost as a result of workplace accidents and ill-health. 
  • The estimated annual cost of occupational injury and illness was £14.1 billion to the British economy.

In addition to the direct costs of sick pay and absence, employers can find themselves dealing with criminal prosecution, large fines, claims for compensation, adverse publicity and harm to both business reputation and profitability. 

Courts can impose fines and imprisonment to both organisations and individuals who have been deemed to neglect their health and safety duties.

The vast majority of occupational injuries, incidents and ill health are avoidable with good health and safety management. By saving money, improving productivity and raising workforce morale, effective health and safety management should be recognised as an integral part of any successful management strategy.

  • "I found the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Health and Safety Leadership Excellence to be a very valuable and practical course. It helped me understand how effective leadership can influence safety culture, employee engagement, and overall health and safety performance. I particularly appreciated the focus on leadership behaviours, communication, influencing people, and creating a positive safety culture rather than simply focusing on rules and compliance. The course also helped me reflect on my own leadership approach and identify areas where I can improve. Overall, the course was well structured, engaging, and highly relevant to my role and professional development. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to strengthen their health and safety leadership skills and make a positive impact in the workplace."
