Why must employers spend money on Occupational Health and Safety?
It is a legal requirement. There is a lot of mixed emotions and misunderstandings. When it comes to providing health and safety in the workplace. Well it all boils down to one thing: the consequences if we don’t. Ethical arguments about it being the ‘right thing to do’ are common and are believed to have impact. Unsurprisingly legal compliance is stated to be the driver of most employee health activity.
​
The choice may seem like an easy one, but when that first rand becomes millions of rands, and the savings may not be seen until years later, spending money up front can become harder to justify. This is a situation in which many occupational safety and health professionals find themselves when trying to convince upper management that investing in training or equipment will lead to safer workplaces. But experts say the savings exist, and – armed with the right figures on the costs of injuries – safety pros should be able to successfully argue that investments in safety will result in savings down the line.​
​​So, we ask what are the advantages of implementing health and safety in the work place?
-
Business can claim back on training done with the Skills development levy.
-
Less or no incidents will occur in the workplace, saving production loss, loss of life and financial loss.
-
It will prevent the legal consequences and penalties from effecting business, which in the long run will save you money.
-
Businesses will also experience less absenteeism, more positive morale in the workplace and a safe working environment.
