Health and safety benefits.
Health and safety benefits are numerous especially in our workplace and even in our various homes. Employers have a moral, economic and legal obligation to ensure that their employees work in both a safe and healthy environment.
Morally no worker should be forced to work in an atmosphere where his health, and welfare are at risk. It also makes great business judgment to ensure that personnel is both safe and healthy during working hours. Injured or sick workers lead to a drop in production and a subsequent loss of profits.
Apart from moral issues, there are strict laws and regulations governing health and safety at work, and should an employer transgress these requirements he can undergo prosecution and have to pay out large sums in compensation.
