Comment on Your opinion on HSE
davad@lemmy.world 4 months agoI’ve never worked in the UK, so I don’t know what the processes are like, but here’s my two cents from the perspective of probabilities.
It’s possible to have a large, freak accident at an otherwise safe work environment. But if an environment has lots of small issues, it seems more likely for a larger issue to happen there.

I agree. If your workplace has 1000 slips, trips and falls every year, then,
A. Why is the floor so slippy / covered in obstacles, is the foot wear worn by employees appropriate etc?
B. How long until someone falls awkwardly, hits their head on the way down and dies?
Reporting things like slips trips and falls is a pain in the arse but at the end of the day it’s to protect you AND the employer, presumably you’re much more concerned with going home alive than you are about a few thousand pounds fine for the boss.
