Despite the many improvements that have resulted from health and safety laws over the years, work injury in all its forms is still a problem which besets the British workplace.
There is still much more that can be done, but it is primarily by making an added investment in health and safety that employers can significantly reduce the work injury rate of their workplaces.
Indeed, in 2011 the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) published details of research which revealed that employers could actually reduce the number of accidents at work by one-third by simply investing in suitable and thorough training for their workers, whether full-time, part-time, or casual.
The IOSH is Europe's leading chartered body for health and safety professionals, is the world's largest health and safety body and has more than 39,000 members, so the research immediately carries considerable authority.
In fact, the issue is not purely one of health and safety – countless studies have shown that investing in correct training and safety equipment improves profits as well as safety records.
IOSH commented, "Employers are morally and legally obliged to look after the safety and wellbeing of their employees at work.
"It is safe to say that successful companies are those who show they care for their staff."
