Prevention is better than cure

Coupled with the finding that 14% of employers admit that there is nobody within
their organisation trained in any type of workplace health and safety, it is
perhaps not surprising that a high proportion of preventable accidents at work
occurred last year. Seton provides a range of health and safety solutions
to help businesses increase productivity by reducing the incidence of accidents
such as slips, trips and falls.

The survey revealed that 32% of employers were aware of
accidents over the past 12 months that could have been avoided through the use
of correct health and safety guidelines and procedures. The preventable
accidents reported included unsafe actions resulting in slips, trips and falls
(6%) and falls from a height (3%). The Health and Safety Executive reveal
that 40% of all reported major injuries are caused by slips and trips, making
this the most common cause of injury at work. According to their latest
report, 4.7 million days were lost in 2013 / 2014 due to workplace injury and
economic costs to Britain from workplace injury or illness totalled £14.2 billion.

In order to prevent workplace injury and the associated
costs, Seton offers a range of health and safety products such as anti-slip
tapes, floor stands, cable protectors and safety signs. In addition,
the company provides training solutions such as posters and DVDs to ensure that people
within the organisation are aware of relevant health and safety guidelines and
procedures.
