Health & Safety issues common to most businesses

[Oliver Austin]

Why is Health & Safety Important to Small Businesses?
Your employees have rights to work in safe conditions with a regard to personal health and it is therefore important that you offer them this sort of working environment: failing to do so can result in personal injury, disease or general poor health. Such occurrences can result in legal action being taking against your business (or you personally) which could damage the business financially and its reputation (including you – as an employer).

Responsibilities of an Employer

The Health & Safety at Work Act, 1974 states that it is your responsibility to protect the health, safety and welfare of yourself, your employees, and people that may be affected by what you do.

I welcome Oliver to the forum but am struggling to see the point he is making in some of his postings. Many appear to be statements rather than questions or points for discussion.
