Health and Safety at Work – How do you approach safety at work?

I am currently into week 2 of a 13 week day course for Nebosh National General Certificate for Health and Safety. It is a course that covers a broad spectrum of different types of business.

One fact this week that made me think was that over recent years between 130 to 190 people a year head off to work for a normal day at work but do not come home because they are killed at work.

A sobering thought, in fact a further 20,000 people suffer major injuries such as amputations, burns and fractures.

How can you make your own work environment a safer place to work?

A good reference book for Health and Safety at work has been written by Phil Hughes and Ed Ferrett called

Introduction to Health and Safety at work (now on it’s 6^th edition)

Also there is information on the HSE website www.hse.gov.uk
