Management of Health and Safety

The management of health and safety is an essential part of any business, large or small.

Accidents at work and occupational ill-health are costly in terms of lost productivity, sick pay, damage or loss of product, repairs to plant or equipment, increased insurance premiums, overtime working or temporary labour, re-training costs, production delays, investigation time, fines etc and this is before we think about the emotional costs to all persons involved in the accident and the affect on the injured person and their family.
