Make your business safe, not sorry
There are some things that are non-negotiable when you run a business. Looking after the health and well-being of your people is one of those items that tops the list.
Health and safety is a topic that has been much maligned over the years with people frequently citing H&S guidelines as problematic, excessive or obstructive – often more of a hindrance than a help to getting on with the job at hand.
But a positive attitude to health and safety demonstrates a company that cares for its workforce, that values its people and that is unwilling to risk accidents and injury by shortcutting or failing to educate staff on the correct procedures.
Signing up to the ISO 45001 standard – Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems – is a great way to help you to protect your workforce by providing safe and healthy working conditions that prevent work-related injury and ill health.
In fact, it’s really a must-have certification for all responsible employers and helps you to meet all the regulatory and legal requirements for your type of organisation through systematically identifying hazards and minimising risks.
The benefits are obvious: not only can it help keep your workforce safe, sound, and at work, it helps to reduce the potential cost of lost time and incident management occurring. It also helps you to meet legal requirements and avoid the risk of any regulatory action or fines.
From a reputational point of view, for stakeholders, employees and customers, gaining ISO 45001 marks your business’s commitment to integrity and accountability. And, as a recognised international standard, it is accepted globally and can help your company to stand out amongst the competition.
At the end of the day, people are a business’s most precious asset. Protecting them from harm should always be a priority.
