Essentials for a Safe Workplace
Whether you are the powerful CEO of a international powerhouse or a trainee primary school teacher, the law requires that you be kept safe and healthy whilst at work.
More accidents and cases of ill health occur each year from working in offices and shops than in construction. Part of the problem is that we don't appreciate the dangers in such bright, friendly environments. For example, computer equipment that you've been using for years without trouble could spark and fuse dangerously when you turn it on simply because it wasn't PAT tested. Water coolers and vending machines can be very dangerous if they topple onto someone, especially an unaccompanied child.
