The costs of bad practice

In the South East, accidents and ill-health cost the region’s employers around £1,730 million a year. Many of these costs are uninsurable, and include:

  • sick pay
  • lost time
  • damage or loss of product and raw materials
  • repairs to plant and equipment
  • overtime working
  • temporary labour
  • production delays
  • fines, loss of contracts
  • legal costs
  • loss of business reputation.

You can stop these costs affecting your business. Estates Excellence will show you how. Phone us now on 0800 8498012.
