Description

XEBEC: Health and Safety issues are becoming more and more crucial in today's workplace. Each year, on average, 500 people die at work and over 400,000 injuries or accidents are reported. The vast majority of these accidents are in some way attributable to 'human factors' - in other words, they could and should have been prevented. Under current legislation, the responsibility for providing a safe working environment and preventing such accidents rests fully with the organisation itself. You can face heavy fines for simply being unaware of the rules, regulations and procedures let alone for not applying them. This combined with the need to understand your obligations and the potential penalties under EU regulations, plus the expense of lost time and money resulting from absenteeism, all add up to the absolute need for you to provide a safe and healthy working environment. Xebec's new Safety Sense series provides your organisation with the information and training you need to make this happen.
