The importance of health and safety at work
Date: 28th April 2021
Time: 14:00 - 15:00
With the waste and resources sector having one of the worst rates for workplace injuries and fatalities, more needs to be done to prevent accidents occurring.
This year for World Safety and Health at Work Day on 28 April, CIWM are planning a webinar to take a look at the importance of H&S and of the needless risk that arise when H&S practices aren’t adhered to. Speakers will discuss their experiences, and solutions to common problems.
