You will probably have heard or seen in the media the latest figures on injuries and deaths in the workplace. Land based industry achieves another record as making it one of the most popular places to kill or injure yourself. If you want the actual figures you can click HERE for the HSE summary and further link to the detailed statistics. What I want to write about today is not statistics but people. Behind all those numbers, trends and graphs are people who have lost a member of their family or been involved in an accident themselves.
One of the sad things for us is that we are often contacted after an accident to train others in a business to prevent further accidents. This isn't the sort of training we enjoy. Most accidents as the HSE will tell you are in a number of key areas - there are only so many ways to kill yourself.
So that is great - we've talked about it. What are we going to do? Well over the coming weeks we are starting an overhaul on the information on our web-site. The first stage will be to detail the main safety related courses. We will be looking at who they are aimed at, what they cover and most importantly what we see as the benefit to you of each of those courses and why you should attend.
Maybe between us we can kick a hole in those statistics.
