Business leaders throughout the world are realising more and more that good management means making the best use of available resources making it mandatory for them to eliminate waste. One of the major waste-causing agents is accidents resulting in damage to equipment, property and in worker death and disablement.
Workplace accidents are conservatively estimated to cause a loss of at least 8 billion pounds sterling in the U.K per year. We are therefore obliged by law to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act. 1974; consequently, health and safety procedures are put in place to prevent workplace death, injury or ill health to staff and those around them.
Whilst it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure a safe working environment, you as an individual have a duty of care to ensure your health, safety and welfare as well as for those around your work environment. All workers have a right to work in safe environments where they are not exposed to avoidable risks to their health and safety.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations is the framework for explaining what is required by both employers and employees in implementing the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

- Employee welfare
