Customer Feedback
Why is IOSH Safety for Executives and Directors Important?
In the last year for which data was available, 138 people died in work-related accidents, and over 600,000 workers suffered non-fatal injuries on the job, according to the Health and Safety Executive.
The total cost of work-related injuries and ill-health to the British economy is over £20 billion and 35.2 billion working days. For employers, a fatal accident averages £111,500, and a non-fatal accident costs around £1,900. Since this data reflects past figures, actual costs will be higher. In addition to financial costs, employers have a legal and moral duty to protect employees and their loved ones from the pain and suffering caused by work-related accidents and ill health.
Without effective health and safety management, work-related accidents and injuries are significantly more likely to happen. This course equips executives and senior managers with the knowledge to ensure health and safety compliance and protect lives.
