Health and Safety – the Hidden Cost of Accidents to Small Business
Poor health & safety is not only a risk to large organisations.
Hidden costs of accidents can be significant. There can be a domino effect on other areas of the business, and not all are immediately visible or recoverable.
Proportionately, the risk can be even greater to small businesses when every person and piece of equipment is critical to the business. An accident can also affect insurance premiums and damage your reputation.
