Myth of the month
January 8th 2008

The HSE's first myth of the month for 2008 is that safety experts’ New Year resolution is to make the life of business people as miserable as possible.

The reality

The HSE carried out some research to address this myth and reports that businesses don't agree. The health and safety body said, questioned about the HSE's helpfulness, those who had had contact with it said:

90% of employers and chief executives/ senior directors rate the HSE as helpful.

90% of chief executives/ senior directors consider that health and safety requirements benefit their company as a whole.
