The HSE has created a new Pledge Forum which basically encourages companies and organisations to adjust their working practices and reduce health and safety risks.
Any company signing up to the Pledge agree to the following:
- Agree to play our part in reducing the numbers of work-related deaths, injuries and ill-health in Great Britain.
- Call on employers to put health and safety at the heart of what they do and to take a common sense approach to health and safety.
- Commit to debunking myths around health and safety that trivialise the impact of injuries, ill health and deaths on individuals and their families.
- Recognise the importance of health and safety in difficult economic times and the dangers of complacency.
- Pledge to work with the Health and Safety Executive and its partners to Be Part of the Solution.
Over 1000 companies are thought to have already signed up and the number is growing.
There is also a wealth of information available on the Pledge Forum website including strategy videos, media pack, toolkits, and case studies. You can also view what the HSE see as the benefits to taking part.
