Injury and ill-health in the workplace is more commonplace than anyone would like, with more than 150,000* non-fatal injuries occurring in the workplace each year and an estimated two million people suffering from ill health which is caused, or made worse by work.<\/p>\n

A good health and safety regime in the office is not only a legal requirement, but can help minimise the chances of an injury or illness occurring. Appropriate insurance is also a must to protect yourself, your employees and visitors.<\/p>\n

There are some simple steps you can take to minimise the chances of an incident happening in the workplace. The HSE recommends carrying out a 5 step risk assessment of the office as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Identify the hazards<\/li>\n
  2. Decide who might be harmed and how<\/li>\n
  3. Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions<\/li>\n
  4. Record your findings and implement them<\/li>\n
  5. Review your assessment and update if necessary<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Its also important to have Employers Liability and Personal Accident insurance in place to cover you should an employee injure themselves at work.<\/p>\n

    Call either Tony Tolkin or Dean Fletcher on 0113 250 0377 to find a policy that meets your needs, at a price thats right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
