Health and Safety

Organisations have the legal responsibility to care for the health and safety for employees, volunteers, suppliers, customers and anyone else affected by the activities of the organisation.

Implementing health and safety policies might in the first instance seem to be an extra expense, to the operation of the organisation, but it should in practise be able to pay for itself as it avoids staff illness and injuries and, therefore, reduces the cost associated with this.
