“Nearly 200 people at work are killed each year and, according to the HSE, 30 million days are lost through occupational ill health & injury costing around £30 billion!
I have seen firsthand how having decent health & safety systems in place have prevented costly claims. We supported a client to develop robust procedures and implemented a health & safety training programme and training records. An employee failed to use a safety harness whilst loading a wagon and fell onto tarmac causing some very serious injuries. The conclusion was that the company was not to blame and the fault lay with the employee for not following reasonable instructions.”
