The objective of almost all organisations is to increase growth, reduce costs or improve efficiency. The overwhelming amount of increasing health, safety and environment legislation becomes burdensome. It takes time to absorb what the changes mean to their businesses and to develop and implement new processes and plans that will ensure they conform to a particular piece of legislation. Furthermore, the impact it has on how they run their day-to-day activities, whilst not increasing the cost to the business and not affecting productivity. Health and safety in the workplace is not just about being compliant. It is easy to appear to have ticked the relevant boxes. Having a health and safety culture that promotes good safe working practices is essential to safeguard against injury, sickness or potential loss of productivity.
