How Can You Reduce the Costs of Accidents at Work?

 Every working day in Great Britain at least one person is killed and over 6000 are injured at work.

Every year three quarters of a million people take time off work because of what they regard as workrelated illness. About 30 million work days are lost as a result.

Accidents and ill health are costly to workers and their families.

They can also hurt companies because, in addition to the costs of personal injuries, they may incur far greater costs from damage to property or equipment, and lost production.
