There are basically 2 reasons why employers should comply with health & safety legislation
- By complying employers are reducing the risk of a serious acident or work related illness from occuring
- It is the law & failure to comply could result in a criminal conviction, a criminal record and fines & costs being levied against the employer either corporately or individually

The Health & Safety Executive & other Enforcement Authorities are concentrating more on prosecutions after recent criticisms that they had not followed up sufficiently on a significant number of cases By taking a more pro-active role in health & safety you can contribute significantly to reducing the number of accidents occuring, reduce the risk of being fined for non-compliance and save you and the industry a great deal of lost time and money.
