How To Stop Injuries At Work
| Business : Running Your Business It is impossible to fully rule out there being injuries at work as you cannot legislate for freak occurrances, however many employers have offices that are just waiting for accidents to occur. As a good employer, you should take the initiative and ensure that you have a full risk assessment undertaken of your offices, to highlight any areas for improvement and also suggest how to mitigate each risk. For instance, if you have a loud, buzzing old vending machine the noise from it could actually be a hazard. Or if the kitchen floor is liable to be slippery, perhaps it should be replaced with a non-slip surface. A risk assessment may be expensive, but is definitely recommended in the long run as the health and safety of employees is priceless.
