Kaercher promotes 'slips and trips' campaign

摘要

Following recent consultation around a possible shake-up of health and safety sentencing guidelines which could see big companies hit by large fines of up to £20 million from late 2015, Kaercher has announced a new campaign to ensure professionals don't slip up. With slips and trips cited as the most common cause of major injuries in the workplace, costing the industry in excess of £512 million per year, Kaercher's new campaign will shine a spotlight on this issue in the hope it will help businesses manage their liabilities. If the guidelines do come into force in late 2015/early 2016, organisations will need to review their health and safety processes or face the risk of a three or fourfold increase in expected penalties.
