It’s no secret that work can be stressful. You’re expected to do a lot of things in a very short amount of time, and it’s not always easy to achieve everything that needs to be done. But accidents at work is something that we all need to take seriously because accidents at work happen so quickly and they are often preventable. In this article we’ll look at some statistics on workplace accidents in the UK, what causes them and how you can prevent them from happening in your own workplace. Why is workplace safety important?

You might be wondering why workplace safety is important.

Well, it’s a legal requirement–but more than that, it’s about protecting your own health and wellbeing as well as that of your colleagues and customers.

Safety at work is crucial because:

Accidents can happen anywhere, even when you’re doing something simple like walking down stairs or entering an office building. When they do occur, they can cause serious injuries or even death if precautions aren’t taken beforehand (such as installing hand rails).
The best way to prevent accidents is through good management practices that focus on preventing hazards before they happen rather than dealing with them after the fact–and this includes everything from ensuring adequate lighting levels in stairwells so people can see where they’re going; providing regular training sessions so employees know how best to operate machinery safely; encouraging peer supervision among team members who are working together closely (for example IT departments), etcetera!
