You don’t have to deal with asbestos or operate dangerous machinery for an accident to happen to a member of your staff. It could be something as simple as a slippery floor, a poorly positioned desk or a misused bottle of cleaning fluid.
Taking a few straightforward precautions to protect your employees will lead to increased productivity and lower sickness rates. You are protecting yourself too; managers and company directors are liable to fines and directors can serve a jail sentence under the criminal law.
Ensuring your workplace is safe for your staff and fulfils your legal obligations can be a time consuming task. Commissioning an experienced health and safety consultancy like Cooper Safety to take on this responsibility leaves you free to focus on growing your business.
