NOT HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINED!
A Fifth of bosses are not health and safety trained!
One in five line managers are not trained in health and safety, a recent poll undertaken by YouGov identified that 96% of respondents agreed that line managers are important in preventing work-related accidents and ill health, 19% said their organisations do not train them in health and safety.
The research polled almost 700 company decision-makers from a range of sectors.
A further fifth of respondents (21%) reported that investigations into accidents had shown that management failure was a contributing factor. Yet the majority (82%) appeared to acknowledge the business benefits of investing in externally provided health and safety courses.
