Welcome to the August issue of e:news from Health & Safety Matters.
There have been mixed reactions to a new report from BRE (Better Regulation Executive) which suggests that better support and advice on health and safety could save small businesses up to £300 million a year. Proposals to provide a web-based and telephone support system for SMEs on Health and Safety issues were widely welcomed, but some elements of the report received less positive reactions. The TUC expressed disappointment with the labelling of health and safety regulation as 'a burden' to small businesses and UCATT said the idea that businesses should have their health and safety responsibilities reduced is dangerous. Read the full report below and let us know your thoughts, by voting in this month's poll or by commenting here. As always, if you're interested in receiving further details on any of the products or services listed below, please use the free reader enquiry service. Don’t forget to leave contact details and a brief description of your requirements. Georgina Bisby Editor - Health & Safety Matters HSMSearch.com 01342 314300 |
