Taking the first step to educate your employees on company specific health and safety policies and procedures.
Getting injured at work or becoming ill through work is not a topic we want to think about, however, the reality is that over 200 people a year lose their lives at work in Britain. Additionally, around 150,000 non-fatal injuries are reported each year, and an estimated 2 million people suffer from ill health caused or made worse by work. Implementing health and safety measures doesn't have to be expensive, time consuming or complicated. In fact, safer and more efficient working practices can often save money but, more importantly, they can help to save lives.
Adequate health and safety training forms part of many induction programme for new starters and addresses the kind of elements which cause the more common accidents and harm to people's health. Health and Safety Induction training can identify what applies to your work activities, and tells you how you can get more help and information. This is especially important if you are in charge of work activities, eg you are an employer, because you have legal responsibilities.
