Recent analysis by health and safety consultancy Arinite found that the average fine for a health and safety breach in 2020 was £106,984 whereas, according to them, it would only cost £44,214 per year for a small organisation to meet what is required by law.
This translates to the cost of a fine being a whopping 142% higher than the cost of compliance. Of course, the importance of organisations maintaining compliance with health and safety regulation goes way beyond the fiscal aspects – keeping workers, contractors and other stakeholders safe and well whilst at work should sit at the heart of health and safety management processes.
The impact of a robust health and safety management system brings about:
- Fewer accidents and hazards in the workplace
- Lower employee absence (linked to a more engaged workforce with fewer work-related illnesses and injuries)
- Reduced instances of litigation and insurance claims
- Increased productivity because employees are healthier, happier and better motivated
- Better management of reputational risk
