Health & Safety
Each day in the UK at least one person is killed and over 6,000
are injured at their places of work (sources: www.hse.gov.uk - "Fatal injuries
statistics" & "Self reported work related illness and workplace
injuries 2008/2009"), and many more report in sick owing to work
related stress or illness. If you run a business, you have a
responsibility to protect the health and safety of your staff and
others affected by your work.
With the appropriate health and safety management systems in
place you will not only minimize the risks of accidents and injury,
your business will benefit from less downtime.
The scope and influence of health and safety and employment law
have increased significantly to become critical elements of a
company’s business strategy. In today’s working environment even
minor accidents or disputes can have potentially litigious and
costly consequences.
The
Corporate Manslaughter & Corporate Homicide Act
2007 came into effect in April 2008 with the specific
objective of making it easier to secure a conviction against a
Company who are in flagrant breach of Health & Safety
Regulations which have resulted in an employee’s death. A
successful prosecution gives the courts power to impose an
unlimited fine and gives an indication of how seriously breaches of
duties of care in relation to Health & Safety are taken.
Health and safety compliance can have a positive impact on
insurance claims and insurers are looking closely at how premiums
can be improved through evidenced H&S strategies.
