Be part of the solution

Posted on June 17^th 2009

The Health and safety Executive (HSE) have recently launched a new strategy, designed to reduce the amount of workplace accidents in the UK. The new “be part of the solution” campaign will work by using a common sense approach to workplace safety.

Figures show that workplace safety in the UK has seen dramatic reductions in the number of workplace accident over the past 35 years. Although the past 6 years seems to have brought in a new wave of workplace injuries, with 229 workers killed and 136,771 seriously injured in 2007/08 alone. This is an unacceptable figure and has launched this new campaign run by the HSE, calling on the entire UK workforce to work together to help improve health and safety at work.
