Article Abstract:

UK companies are now obliged, under the European Community Framework Directive 89/391/EEC, to discuss occupational health and safety with staff. Liaising with staff is sensible from a business point of view, as it is good for morale, improves efficiency and makes for better safety performance, and decisions made as a result of consultation become more informed. The Health and Safety Executive has published a booklet entitled 'Successful Health and Safety Management', referring to communication and collaboration as core elements in organising safety.
