Good health

Most health and safety failures are avoidable – they are due to poor management and ignorance of good practice. Employers, in consultation with workers, are key to driving up standards and improving the working environment. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has published Health and Safety Training – What You Need To Know for employers, and Effective Health and Safety Training: A Trainer's Resource Pack. These new publications will help employers and trainers to provide effective health and safety training for their employees. The guidance covers all organisations across industry, but will be particularly useful for small firms. It gives the kind of help employers and trainers need to meet their health and safety responsibilities effectively – and to avoid the considerable cost of not doing so. See www.hse.gov.uk
