Today is the 50th anniversary of The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 receiving Royal Assent, one of the most important pieces of legislation in history. The graph illustrates the strides taken in workplace safety, ensuring Britain became one of the safest countries in the world. This chart doesn't take into account population increase though, which has grown from 56.2m in 1974 to 70m today. In 1974 the rate of fatal injuries was 2.9 per 100,000 workers, today is 0.42. A fantastic achievement but the work continues to drive it down further.

50 years strong and still the foundation for all of the safety legislation that has followed.

One of the most life changing pieces of legislation ever to be introduced. “An Act to make further provision for securing the health, safety and welfare of persons at work, for protecting others against risks to health or safety in connection with the activities of persons at work, for controlling the keeping and use and preventing the unlawful acquisition, possession and use of dangerous substances, and for controlling certain emissions into the atmosphere; to make further provision with respect to the employment medical advisory service; to amend the law relating to building regulations, and the Building (Scotland) Act 1959; and for connected purposes. “ HASAW

2024 marks 50 years since the introduction of the Health & Safety at Work Act (1974). A landmark act, which paved the way for subsequent legislation and remains hugely relevant in demonstrating the overarching duty of care that employers have towards employees and non-employees impacted by work-related activities. Much has been accomplished in those 50 years, and much still to do! #togetherforsafety #safetyandcompliance #saferhomes

Let's work on improving health and safety methods in the workplace, by focusing on prevention and support of hearing loss and tinnitus 🎧 🔊 Research carried out by Sound Training Solutions has shown that effective hearing protection is not always worn, with the main reasons being: 'The other's don't wear them' and 'I won't be able to hear what they're saying'. If hearing loss and/or tinnitus happens in the workplace, the employer is liable and action can be taken from the employee, regardless of whether they were told to wear the hearing protection or not. The wider issues of hearing loss and tinnitus are a significant impact on staff mental health and wellbeing, audiology/doctor's appointments, and potentially other days absent due to stress-related issues. Training must be consistent, ongoing, and attended by all staff in all workplaces (including leaders/senior management). 💡 Looking to book insightful training sessions for your workplace? 💡 All sessions are one hour, or a combination of sessions can be blended and delivered for two hours or half a day, either in the day, evening or weekend, online or in person at your workplace! 💡Transform, Adapt and Evolve as Leaders 💡The Art of Detachment 💡Unravel Your Rivalry 💡The Science of Communication 💡Sound in the Workplace 💡Inclusion 💡Mental Health and Wellbeing 💡The First Arrow Always Hits 💡Mindful vs Mind Full 💡Mental Diet 💡Abuse (domestic; mental and physical) 💡Suicide Awareness 💡The Science of Sound 💡Loneliness and Isolation 💡Hearing Loss and Tinnitus 💡Mindset Detox 💡Talk the Talk (The trainer has lived/living experiences of all the above topics, so the delivery is extremely authentic, passionate and powerful) For more information, please contact Vickie Deeks (deaf) at: [email protected], or text/WhatsApp: 07447 294832 💙 Health and Safety Executive Sarah Albon #workplace #healthandsafety #hearinglossprevention #wellbeing #hearinglosssupport #mentalhealth #tinnitusawareness #tinnitussupport
