In todays economic climate everybody is having to “tighten their belt” so to speak and unfortunately some businesses have to implement severe cost cutting measures in order to survive.
Health and safety is not immune to cost saving measures, however, before implementing measures it is prudent to weigh up the long term savings against the immediate “knee jerk” reaction to saving money.
Research has shown that in an economic climate such as the one we are experiencing at the moment, claims can actually increase due to added financial pressures on Employees and the temptation to get compensation for any injuries suffered at work.
Increased Stress levels resulting in absences from work can occur due to increased work loads placed on staff members due to neccessary Job cuts.
