The survey suggested that the shift towards health and safety-conscious employment was not only keeping businesses within the law, but also adding a tangible benefit to company coffers.

As far as we’re concerned, this is a trend that we want to continue for the well being of those working within dangerous industries, and for the benefits to the employer as well.”Recent health and safety legislation has forced employers to act on dangerous situations within the workplace, leading to a rise in the safety-conscious ethic that prevents accidents at work.
