Health and Safety courses with Bison Assist

The importance of health and safety courses

It might be quite obvious, but one of the main reasons why health and safety courses and training are important is because it’s mandatory. According to The 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act, all businesses in the UK must implement health and safety regulations which have to be followed thoroughly both by employers and employees. Breaking these laws can lead to severe consequences, including fines and even criminal prosecution.

Another important reason why health and safety training in the workplace is vital, is because workplaces can be hazardous. Whether you work in an office or at a busy construction site, all workplaces come with risks. Hazards such as unsecure equipment as well as trips or falls happen every day, and so training and protocols must be in place to avoid any serious injuries from occurring, not to mention the potential financial costs. Companies who invest in effective health and safety training programmes can reduce their costs more effectively than others. Clear guidelines increase productivity, but will also help you cut down on indirect or unnecessary costs.
