Business owners have a legal duty to put in place suitable arrangements to manage health and safety in the workplace.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to put in place arrangements to control health and safety risks. Leaders, owners and managers should consider whether they are doing enough to manage health and safety effectively. In today’s world people are increasing likely to exclusively associate themselves with companies who carry out health and safety management in safe working environments. Effective health and safety management has been met with increasing demand from all types of businesses by the authorities, insurance companies and clients alike. Failure to create a safe working environment can not only result in fines or in the worst case situations imprisonment by the authorities, but the increased likelihood of the loss of existing work or opportunity to tender for new business. This is why it is essential that you take health and safety seriously.
