Everyone has the right to work in a safe environment, supported by adequate training and equipment. Under the law, employees are protected should they choose to walk out of the workplace due to unsafe conditions, something which saw a significant increase during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Heightened awareness of the risks associated with the Coronavirus has shone a spotlight on Health and Safety practices within the workplace in a way few things ever have, and prompted a revolutionary wave in worker welfare innovation. As a result, organisations that responded to the pandemic by doubling down on their commitment to employee safety frequently report a more healthy and resilient workforce.
The Health and Safety Executive’s annual report on Health and Safety Statistics is essential reading for any business looking to understand the associated risks of their workplace. The HSE’s latest findings report 1.7 million people suffering from work-related illnesses. When we dive deeper into that figure, an alarming trend reveals itself.
Managing compliance with EHS software is the best way to stay up-to-date with the ever-changing regulations and advisories that affect your company.

Maintaining a safe and healthy workplace isn’t just a suggestion; it’s the law. Even though your employees share some responsibility for the safety of themselves and others, it is ultimately up to you to make sure risks are kept to a minimum, and no one is harmed.
2021’s HSE ‘Health and Safety at work’ report highlights the importance of mental health in the workplace.
It’s easy to guard against the obvious dangers, but without proper health and safety training and protocols in place, you run the risk of leaving your workers vulnerable to hidden hazards.
We’ve reached the time of year where the mornings are dark, the nights are even darker, and the hours that stretch between are either cold, wet, or some combination of the two.
When it comes to assessing dangers in the workplace, where do you even start? With the cranes on a building yard? The hazardous chemicals in a factory? How about the office chair, left in the middle of the room?
Let’s face it: the safety of our employees is always going to be at the forefront of our minds, no matter the environment in which they are working.
