HSE launch new strategy The Health and Safety Executive launched their new 5 year strategy on 3rd June 2009. It sets out how employees and employers need to continue to work together to minimise risks to workers while maintaining business competitiveness. This comes amid news that workplaces are set to become more dangerous with many businesses facing pressures to cut health and safety budgets in the challenging economic climate. The Chair of HSE, Judith Hackett, said “We believe this strategy represents a clear statement of core principles and a sensible approach to health and safety in Great Britain. Whilst the economic climate is difficult and the temptation for some may be to cut corners, HSE, its partners and businesses must resolve to continue to strive to improve health and safety performance. Good health and safety is good business.” Experience shows that good health and safety standards are beneficial to a business as a whole. The costs of preventing accidents being less than the costs to business when incidents occur. Good health and safety can make employees feel more valued which is ever more important in the current economic downturn. For a full copy of the new strategy please see the HSE website at http://www.hse.gov.uk/strategy/index.htm If you have any health and safety concerns please contact Vizards Wyeth's Health and Safety Team.
