Risk Assessments
Have you ever calculated the cost of ill health to your business?
Injury and ill health from work is distressing not only for the individuals involved but also for businesses which stand to loose financially from higher absence as well as insurance costs and possible litigation.
What's causing ill health at your work?
Often employers know they should provide risk assessments but can feel they haven’t the time or expertise to undertake it themselves. They may even know the benefits that proper use of risk assessments can bring but feel daunted by the task at hand.
Preventing ill health through risk assessments.
We all agree that prevention is better than treatment and this is exactly what risk assessments set out to do. Of course not all jobs need risk assessments but those that do stand to make real improvements in health + safety. The type of injuries that can be prevented with appropriate risk assessment includes
- back pain from Manual Handling,
- upper limb disorders and visual problems from using computers
- breathing difficulties and skin problems from using chemicals
- mental health issues from stress
Protecting the wellbeing of your employees
As an employer you have a legal obligation to look after your staff and protect them from injury, and providing risk assessments is the first step in managing their wellbeing. You can use professionals either to do the assessments or to train your own staff so they can do it themselves. Either way you want to make a difference to health of your employees and your business.
