HR : Health, Safety and Welfare

HRM Health, Safety, and Welfare

Every employer has the legal obligation to provide a safe and healthy working environment for all employees. However, each member of the workforce must also contribute to the development and maintenance of a safe working culture. Unless everyone plays their part, workplace safety cannot be guaranteed. Despite the risk of increasingly-severe legal consequences, evidence suggests that many business owners are still paying insufficient attention to basic health and safety considerations. In doing so, they are jeopardising not only the fate of their employees, but also their businesses as a whole.

This exclusive tutorial has been designed for anyone looking to become a more active contributor to workplace health and safety. Explore a series of key concepts including current UK health and safety law, the 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act and the legal responsibilities of British employers. Study the benefits and importance of health and safety in the workplace, how to successfully monitor and evaluate health and safety, how to go about a health and safety audit and the implementation of safer working policies.
