Safety Health and Environment at Work

Workplace safety is built upon a strong grounding of shared responsibility. Every member of the workforce from top to bottom plays their own unique yet equally-important role in building and maintaining a safe working environment. Where health and safety standards fall below expectations, it can usually be attributed to a combined lack of training and awareness. The greater the emphasis placed on workplace safety, the easier it becomes to build and maintain a safe working culture. Nevertheless, it is only when every employee is on the same page and working towards the same collective goals that a wider health and safety strategy can be effective.
