Got a spare 70 grand lying around?
Did you know:
• Of the 3.3 million cases brought to the HSE regarding avoidable injury or ill health at
work, roughly 317,000 were due to employers failing to adequately protect their
employees from the effects of noise, chemicals, asbestos and dust. [www.hse.gov.uk]
• Compensation was paid out in roughly 2/3 of cases, in amounts varying from £75 to
£77,000. [www.hse.gov.uk]
• Compensation can be just the tip of the iceberg. A company that is found to be
liable for harm should add in the extra costs of time lost, sick pay, extra wages for
temporary labour, court and legal costs, fines and the damage done to their reputation.
Ouch.
Unless you have a spare 70 grand or so down the back of your sofa, make sure you and your staff are covered.
