Health and Safety’s a chore? Right?
If only you had somebody in your business with all the skills, knowledge, and training to look after it, you’d feel a whole lot better, wouldn’t you?

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations - Reg 7 (1999) Health & Safety Assistance requires employers to
"Appoint one or more competent people to help them in undertaking the measures they need to take to comply with the requirements imposed on them by or under the relevant statutory provisions."
The “competent” person must have time and resources available to fulfil their function and be provided with the necessary information.

Why does health and safety matter?
Because its the Moral thing to do.
It is unacceptable to put people's health and safety at risk.
Nobody should leave their home to come to the workplace and not return home injured or ill because of an accident that occurred there.
A business that sees reducing the risk of harm as a waste of money rather than trying to reduce accidents and injuries is out of touch with society.
Because the Law says so.
Managing health and safety at work is not an optional activity.
Its required by law and any employer who fails to comply is exposed to very significant legal risks, both at an organisational and individual level.
Directors and employees can, and do go to prison for health and safety breaches, and significant fines are handed out.
Because it makes financial sense.
Duty holders found guilty of health and safety offences in 2019/2020 received fines in excess of £35million -
- in other words an average of £110,000 for cases resulting in a conviction.
