Leaders must have sufficient detailed knowledge to ask pertinent questions, to seek correlating, corroborating or challenging views from alternative sources and not take the “Yes Man” approach.
H&S (Health & Safety) legislation states it quite clearly. Section 40 is unique in that it places a duty of care that reverses the normal legal axiom of “Innocent until proven guilty”. The defending business must provide evidence that it has complied with its duty of care.
We might not be aware of high number of sucessful claims for civil damages but all have to pass through the Department for Work & Pensions.
Recent statistics show that the annual average number of successful claims under Employer and Public liability exceeded 150,000.
Many business leaders assume that a clean incident book is evidence of carrying out their duty of care.
The law disagrees, saying this can be achieved by luck.

We are launching a new product which should bestow considerable advantages to the businesses that use it. It focuses on a fresh, low cost easy to use approach to Health & Safety which can be very effective.
