Keep your reputation

Preventing accidents and ill health at work helps you build a good reputation with your clients, your workers, their friends and associates.

You have worked hard to build a positive and respectable image for your business. It's vital that your business keeps that good name. Good public relations increase sales and generate more leads.

If your company comes into disrepute for any reason, including avoidable injury or accidents in the work environment, or continued employee ill health, it can cost you more than replacing that member of staff.

You can expect:

• a media grilling
• negative public opinion that is hard to reverse
• fines
• unwanted attention from pressure groups
• disastrous sales
• reduced profits and revenue.

It can take time to recover and get your business up and running again. But it's easy to prevent damage to your health and safety reputation by implementing a simple and effective programme of control to manage the risks.
