EAST LANCASHIRE businesses can now log onto a new website page from the Health and Safety Executive which explains the benefits of tackling health and safety at work.
The moral, business and economic benefits are explained, case studies are described and help is given to businesses wanting to explore the benefits for themselves at www.hse.gov.uk
The HSE says effective health and safety management helps reduce the unacceptable toll of suffering that accidents and ill-health bring. A series of case studies shows that there are also good business reasons for organisations to improve their management of health and safety.
The benefits seen by the companies in the case studies include increased productivity, lower insurance costs, less absenteeism, better staff retention and morale, improved reputation and reduced liability claims.
