Risk Report
Covering five key areas with advice and steps to ensure your business is compliant. This Free H&S risk report will provide tailored answers to your business needs.
Why is Health and Safety important in the workplace?
Health and safety in the workplace is not only required by law, but it is also part of your duty as an employer, ensuring that your staff can work without the risk of being injured. The importance of health and safety extends to customers, contractors, the general public, and anyone who comes into contact with your business daily.
Some industries are considered to be riskier than others. However, it is imperative that all businesses have comprehensive health and safety practices in place. This helps to ensure that employees do not have to put up with unnecessarily dangerous conditions while going about their work.
What is the purpose of Health and Safety procedures?
Running a business takes up a lot of time. Unfortunately means that health and safety can often be forgotten about. However, if an accident happens at work and you end up appearing in court, ‘too busy’ will not be an acceptable defence.
In addition to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, there are multiple additional regulations that apply to all businesses. These regulations give the employer a range of duties to prevent and reduce the risk of injury or accident in the workplace.
In 2022/23, an estimated 35.2 million working days were lost due to workplace injury or illness in Britain. Consequently, this has a massive financial impact on businesses and even their reputation in the long run. While dealing with health and safety can seem an inconvenience, it is an essential part of ensuring that your business continues to survive and thrive.
