Why Are We Doing This? Humane - An employee should not have to expect that by coming to work they are risking life or limb, and nor should others affected by their undertaking. Economic - legal fees, fines, compensatory damages, investigation time, lost production, lost goodwill from the workforce, and lost goodwill from customers. Legal - We have a duty under the law to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all our employees. In other words, the degree of risk in a particular job or workplace needs to be balanced against time, trouble, cost and the physical difficulty of taking measures to avoid or reduce the risk. What the law requires here is what good management and common sense would lead you to do anyway: that is, to look at what the risks are and take sensible measures to tackle them. 2/25/2019
