Safety training can cut costs
UK BUSINESSES are losing more than £7bn a year because of needless accidents in the workplace, the British Safety Council (BSC) says. It adds that more than half of employers don't offer any safety training at all. even though it can lead to a massive reduction in payouts and costs.
Haulage was among the industries examined in the survey, which says that in addition to the financial losses, one worker a day Is killed and one injured every minute.
But BSC chief executive Brian Nimick says the situation is not entirely the fault of management: "Businesses, particularly those of a small or medium size, are overwhelmed by mountains of red tape. They need clear and simple guidelines, so measures such as training for health and safety are seen as an asset, not a burden."
