Level 1 Health & Safety – Construction Environment Course

HSE studies have found that uninsured costs outweigh those covered by insurance policies. In a wide range of business sizes and activities, the total uninsured losses from day-to-day accidents ranged from twice up to 36 times the total paid in insurance premiums in the same year; the average was around ten times the amount paid in premiums.
So in some cases, you could think of accident costs like an iceberg, with the majority of the losses uninsured and hidden below the water line.
Directors and managers can be held personally responsible for failures to control health and safety. Can you afford such failures? Do you really manage health and safety?
