It's been 23 years since the start of World Safety Day, championed by the International Labour Organisation 👷
The UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recorded nearly 700,000 nonfatal injuries from 2019 to 2020. With the agency’s persistence in regulatory work, the numbers have gone down to over 550,000 from 2022 to 2023.
Each of us are responsible for stopping deaths and injuries at work. As businesses, we are responsible for ensuring that the working environment is safe and healthy. As workers, we are responsible to work safely and to protect ourselves and not to endanger others, to know our rights and to participate in the implementation of preventive measures.
Management systems like ISO 45001, promotes good health and safety practises and the reduction of occupational injuries and diseases. Given the increase in interest and focus over the last few years, hopefully unsurprisingly, this would also include promotion and protection of physical and mental health.
Health and safety is often an emotive subject. Clearly most organisations are going to know the technical detail of their work; they are sometimes less familiar with the intimate intricacies of health and safety law. Our job is to ensure you comply with the law but without overburdening the organisation. We focus on simple and practical solutions.
We are more than happy to provide as little or as much support as you need. We have provided 24/7 assistance on large construction sites, we have helped companies defend their positions with the Health and Safety Executive ( ). More usually we provide planned ongoing support be that a couple of days a year or a couple of days a month.
