Accidents and ill health at work create needless suffering, can be disruptive and incur huge costs. Ensuring good health and safety practices has to be a priority for everyone in the workplace. In 2018/19 there were 147 fatal injuries to workers in the UK and an incredible 69,208 non-fatal accidents. The government estimates that workplace accidents and illness cost the British economy a staggering £15 billion a year.
Educating employees in the basics of health and safety helps reduce accidents and injuries, saving businesses from expensive legal battles. Safe work environments relieve employees of worry and helps to raise staff morale.
Good health and safety is even more vital when workers are caring for vulnerable people. If you’re a business owner in the social care sector, then health and safety staff training for employees is one investment you can’t afford not to make.
