Tell employees about health and safety and they'll know about it. Involve them and they'll understand.

The ‘do your bit’ initiative will run for a year in total and is aimed at both employers and workers in non-unionised Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) amongst construction, manufacturing and transport/storage industry sectors.

Through Premier Partnership, a third party training provider, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will provide subsidised training on basic knowledge of health and safety management and ’soft’ people skills (negotiating, persuasion etc) to allow course attendees to affect change in their own workplaces.
