Effective occupational health and safety management not only reduces the risk of accidents and injury, but has brought significant business benefits to many organizations. Despite this, many organizations still fail to manage this discipline well. Each year:
- 6,000 people die from cancer related to occupational factors
- over 2,000,000 people suffer assumed work-related ill health
- 156,000 non-fatal accidents are reported at work
- 212 people died from accidents at work in the UK in 2005/6.

As a result of major accidents at work in recent years, greater emphasis has been placed on the management of occupational health and safety (OH&S) in legislation, which all employers MUST embrace. Any organization with five or more employees must carry out health and safety risk assessments and document their findings. Acting on those findings is essential if you are to minimize the risk of accidents and exposure to penalties.
