Blue Skies Health and Safety

INTRODUCTION

Workers are often faced with health and safety dangers at their workplace. It doesn’t matter the size of the company, be it a large or small firm, the safety and health of an organisation’s workers should be of paramount importance to the leadership of that organisation.

For some industries, the dangers might seem obvious while for some they may not, but there isn’t any workplace in existence where its’ workers do not face health and safety dangers. Workers in restaurants or in an office might feel safe in their working environment, but as true as it may appear, there exists the potential of food contaminations, poor ergonomics and maybe psychological stress which can be a source of health and safety problems.

HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL BUSINESSES AND INDUSTRIES

Since all industries face workplace hazards, it is imperative for company owners to provide health and safety training on a regular basis to curtail the chances of any industrial mishap. Did you know that more than two hundred workers die each year due to work-related accidents, whilst more than one million individuals are injured during this time frame? Also, more than two million workers suffer from illnesses that are either caused or aggravated by what they do. With all these facts, preventing health-related accidents in the workplace should be one of the principal priorities of employers.

THE NUMEROUS BENEFITS OF HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING

The importance of safety and health training does not only end with injuries; there are many benefits associated with having sound safety and health training. Thorough knowledge of health and safety topics can provide many benefits and help in developing a positive health and safety culture among workers. This way, everyone becomes aware of safe and healthy working. If your company has a good health and safety training programme in place, it will help in ensuring that the employees are not prone to workplace accidents or falling ill due to their jobs, thereby avoiding the distress that workplace accidents and ill health cause.
