Why’s It Important?
Under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, if you fail to meet your responsibilities for health and safety, it could result in imprisonment. As a responsible person, safety falls within your remit. The law will hold you personally accountable for any health and safety failings.
It is also important that individuals across your organisation see the management team adopting and embracing health and safety practices. As a result, you will get an effective health and safety culture within your business. Without your employees’ commitment and support, any safety measures you put in place will most likely be ineffective.
The introduction of an effective health and safety management system together with implementing successful best practices can improve business productivity and your bottom line!
