Download Print Send a summary of this page to someone via email.
The involvement of workers is widely held to be central to significant and sustained improvements in health and safety management. Many organisations claim that worker involvement in decision-making and management has led to quantifiable benefits such as improved change management, more responsive customer service, better dispute resolution, reduced labour turnover, and reduced sickness absence and accident rates.
‘Using soft people skills to improve worker involvement in health and safety’ (RR580) is available on the HSE webpages www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/rr580.htm.
