📰👷♂️A recent article by OHS Canada highlights a critical issue in workplace safety – the lack of time allocated for training. The survey found that 70% of respondents believed that the biggest roadblock to workplace safety was the lack of time for training. Without proper training, workers may not be aware of potential hazards, safety procedures, and emergency protocols, leading to increased risks of accidents and injuries. The survey also found that 58% of respondents feel that health and safety programs are not enforced effectively in their workplaces. The article emphasizes the importance of investing in training and education to improve workplace safety. Employers must prioritize safety, allocate resources for training, enforce safety protocols, and provide ongoing support to create a culture of safety in the workplace. This is where we can be of assistance.

Our UK Managing Director for Advisory, and Chairman of the British Safety Council, Peter McGettrick, spoke to New Civil Engineer about the 50th anniversary of the Health and Safety at Work Act, reflecting on its phenomenal achievements in workplace safety and discussing its continued relevance today. Read the article: https://bit.ly/3WDqhqf The 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act serves to ensure the health, safety and well-being of employees and has led to an 80 percent reduction in workplace deaths and significantly fewer injuries. However, Peter highlights the importance of recognising the ongoing journey towards making our work environments safe and explores how the evolving definitions related to ‘health and safety’ influence the expectations regarding workplace safety. Peter says: “When it comes to updating our approach to health and safety, employers must take the lead. While the legislative environment remains largely solid, the needs of the modern workforce have dramatically changed. Businesses and organisations of all kinds need to understand how their policies and approach will adapt accordingly.”  #HealthAndSafety #NewCivilEngineer #workplace
