PROMOTING A SAFE AND HEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENT
“…designed to educate members of the organization on the importance of having a safe and healthy environment. It is not just beneficial to the staff, but also to the customers that visit the organization either daily or occasionally.…”
All workers are entitled to work in environments where risks to their health and safety are properly controlled. Under health and safety law, the primary responsibility for this is down to employers. Employers have a duty to consult with their employees, or their representatives, on health and safety matters.
Workplace health protection and promotion is essential to enhance the overall health and well-being of the workforce and prevent work-related injuries and illnesses.
Research reveals that over 200 people are killed each year in accidents at work and over one million people are injured. Over two million suffer illnesses caused by, or made worse by their work. These are mind-boggling statistics.
Employers have a legal and professional responsibility to provide employees with a workplace that is free from recognized hazards that cause or are likely to cause serious physical injury or death, and to maintain working conditions that are safe and healthy for their employees.
So, preventing accidents and ill health caused by work should be a key priority for everyone at work. As the owner or manager of a business, you know that competent employees are valuable. Your business probably depends on them. More so, it is increasingly being recognized that a healthy workforce is beneficial to employers too, because not only does a healthy workforce promote safety, but in the long run, it improves the success of your company.
There is increasing awareness of the impact our work environment has on us, which ranges from our general health and safety to the specifics of how we set up our work station, hence the importance of health and safety cannot be overemphasized, thereby calling for a more strategic approach in promoting a safe and healthy work environment.
