Strategic level guidance on managing health and safety in the workplace
All work exposes people to hazards, and so no matter what the business there is always the possibility of an accident or damage to someone's health.
Despite all the precautions that are taken in the UK, there are still 1.6 million workplace injuries every year as well as two million cases of ill health caused or made worse by work.
Health and Safety Strategies 2007: Case Report looks in-depth at separate management issues through detailed case studies from UK-based organisations. The report is authored by journalist Helen Bamborough and legally edited by Dale Collins, Solicitor Advocate with Bond Pearce Solicitors.
Chapters and case studies include:
- Consulting employees - The National Probation Service and Severn Trent Water
- Communicating health and Safety - T-mobile, Hobart UK, Sigma-Genosys and DuPont
- Health and safety management systems - Thales UK
- Health and safety policies - T-mobile
- Health and safety consultants
- Responsibility for health and safety - Neales Waste
- Health surveillance - Port of London Authority
- Investigating and reporting accidents - Sigma-Genosys
- Measuring performance - Land Securities
Companies are increasingly encouraging their employees to take ownership of their health and safety strategies, so that effective safety measures can be implemented by those that work in the environment in question. A ‘tick the box’ approach is no longer appropriate in today’s business environment where corporate responsibility is high on the agenda, and poor health and safety can lead to the loss of profit and reputation, not to mention life. This report is essential reading for all health and safety managers, and all those responsible for managing safety in the workplace.
