From 2004 to 2005, national statistics reveal that 220 people were killed at work, 150,559 suffered a work-related injury and 2 million suffered a work-related illness, resulting in a loss of 35 million working days in industry.
No Company can undertake an action without a risk to some degree being involved. This is why the Health and Safety at Work Etc Act 1974 places obligations upon owners, partners, directors and employers to safeguard the health and safety of those who may be affected by their business activities and products. This can include anybody from employees and contractors to visitors and members of the public. Further regulations made under the Act cover key areas of health and safety, such as manual handling and first aid.
Legislation insists that you meet its’ requirements by adopting adequate precautionary measures and providing a safe working environment. For example, did you know that if you employee five people or more, you must have documented risk assessments and a written health and safety policy in place?
A poor history of health and safety can be detrimental to a company. For example, it can lead to increased absenteeism, reputation damage and extensive financial loss. This is why it is crucial for your company to manage and take control of all health and safety aspects relating to your business. By risk assessing your activities and work environment and by identifying hazards, SDEnvironmental can ensure a healthier and safer future for your long term business interests.
“Providing a professional and efficient service, SDEnvironmental look after the health and safety requirements in all my businesses, giving me peace of mind and the time to focus on other areas.”
