Poor health and safety management can cripple your company
Jan 1, 2010
Higher penalties, including imprisonment, that can be imposed following the introduction of the Health and Safety Offences Act in January 2009 means there is an escalating need to ensure compliance with Health and Safety legislation to avoid prosecution.
The president of IOSH (the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health) stated recently one accident could put a company out of business.
Accidents and ill-health place a great strain on company budgets, so it is sensible to avoid them. Remember, a lack of money is not a reason – nor a defence – for not ensuring adequate health and safety in your workplace. Our Health and Safety Management system can help to ensure that your company is safe and legal and from just £5.50 a day may be much more cost effective than employing your own in house Health and Safety manager.
