Occupational injuries decreased

importance of risk assessment,
relevant training and developing
good working practices should
never be ignored.
British Safety Services (BSS)
offers a service designed to help
companies identify and minimise
unsafe practices. Properly managed
health and safety not only prevents
work-related injuries, deaths and
illness, it also makes good business
sense by saving companies money.
Pat McLoughlin, MD of BSS, says:
"Organisations find themselves
retrospectively spending many
management hours tackling issues
that could have been identified and
avoided by regular structured health
and safety audits and procedures.
Also a reduction in accidents can
result in cost
saving on insurance
premiums."
