Good health and safety practice makes good management sense. The cost in terms of lost working days, litigation or prosecution can be extremely bad for business.
In 2003-2004 an estimated 39 million working days were lost in the UK through work-related ill health or injury.
Sadly deaths and serious injuries are still commonplace. Yet so much can be avoided with just basic training.

Both employers and employees need to be aware of the importance of health and safety. From the shop floor to the swimming pool, from factory to kitchen, garage to office, CIEH provides qualifications at every level, for individuals and organisations across a wide range of industry sectors.
