1 in 5 managers receives no safety training from employers!
A YouGov survey in the UK of nearly 700 company decision-makers found that despite 96% of respondents agreeing that line managers are important in keeping their teams safe, 19% don’t train them. A fifth (21%) said investigations into accidents had shown a management failure was a contributing factor.
The survey also asked whether investing in externally-provided health and safety courses drove business benefits, with 82% saying it did. Of those, 39% said they had experienced a reduction in lost time because of accidents, 36% said their reputation within their supply chain had been enhanced, while 30% said they had recorded increased productivity because of fewer accidents.
The company management is accountable for delivering a safe workforce and performance, line managers are responsible for ensuring controls are implemented and middle tier managers for providing the resources to deliver controls and the leadership for setting directions.
Without effective safety training, how can line managers be judged as competent to conduct a risk assessment, site audits or surveys to assess if something could cause an accident or could harm someone’s health in the operations under their control? How do they comply with company policies and procedures, as well as national legislation if there is a health and safety risk?
