Safety outside work is affecting your business
Workplace safety is an important part of modern business. But the reality is the number of injuries that happen outside work is six times the number of work accidents. Although these accidents happen outside of work, they have a very real impact on the workplace.
Impact of non-work injuries
In some workplaces, non-work injuries make up more than 90 percent of the lost work hours caused by injury. Because of things like the disruption of unplanned absences and the need to retrain staff or find temporary workers, these out of work accidents have a big impact on productivity and profitability.
Complementing your existing programmes
- The Safety WorkOut programme is designed to fit in with existing workplace safety and wellbeing programmes
- The programme can be tailored to suit the time you have available, the needs of your organisation and the environment in which your staff work
- ACC can work with you to develop a programme that meets your specific needs.
Flexible and modular
The Safety WorkOut programme features a range of modules covering various topics including:
- sport
- learner driver
- driver fatigue
- drive to the conditions
- DIY
