Business Case

Key reasons why this occupational safety course is good for business.
 

• Will help to reduce the risk of prosecution under the Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007
• Undertaking this behaviour-based safety training will see increased staff retention and increased productivity
• Reduce accidents and save the company money by changing behaviour. An estimated 80 per cent of accidents have human behaviour as a contributory factor.
• Reduce time lost to illness and injury. Changing attitudes and beliefs about safety  will encourage employees to instinctively behave more safely in all areas of their life, not just at work – which will help to reduce time lost to illness and injury
• Build a positive Health and safety culture within your business
• HSE estimates that the ratio between insured and uninsured costs arising from accidents lies in the range of 1:8 to 1:36. So in the worst case, for every £1000 recovered from the insurer, the business loses about £36,000
• Build employee confidence in the safest standards of the working environment
• Build stakeholder confidence in health and safety best practice
• There is no formal assessment for this course, but delegates completing it successfully will receive a Mantra certificate of training.
