First Personal Injury Applauds HSE Campaign
By First Personal Injury, PRNESunday, February 28, 2010
MANCHESTER, England, March 1, 2010 - Accident Claims(www.firstpersonalinjury.co.uk/) Solicitors, First
Personal Injury has praised the latest phase of the Health and Safety
Executive's Shattered Lives safety campaign.
The latest phase of the campaign aims to raise awareness of the potential
dangers of trips and falls in the workplace and features some graphic and
hard hitting posters. The posters, typically featuring alarming images of
workers 'shattering' upon impact following a fall, also feature safety
information targeted at reducing such accidents.
Michael Jefferies of First Personal Injury believes the campaign has
great potential for success. "The latest phase of Shattered Lives really hits
a message home hard. The images are quite disturbing, yes, but sometimes
that's exactly what it takes to get a point across. Given the number of
workplace accident victims we deal with here, we know how devastating slips
and trips at work can be. What's great about this campaign is that it uses
graphics to convey that and then also provides the information people need to
cut the numbers of injuries like this."
And indeed the campaign is rich in information, with the Shattered Lives
area of the HSE website offering a whole host of resources including industry
specific posters for download, hazard spotting checklists and information
kits.
Michael, who has previously spoken of his wish to see more Health and
Safety resources available to employees, is keen to see the HSE build on
this. "What is available is fantastic. There's no denying that. But I
honestly believe that building on this with some form of compulsory course
for employees would make a really notable difference to the figures."
