Despite various regulatory bodies mandating the need to benchmark health and safety policies, the recent years witnessed more than a million cases of self-reported health and safety incidents at workplaces.
With almost all industries requiring employees to work with dangerous machinery, electricity, huge display screen equipment, and toxic substances, workplace accidents have become more common. According to a survey conducted by the government of the UK, there were more than a million cases of people suffering from work-related illness during the year 2015 to 2016. It has been observed that in addition to the loss of valuable working hours due to work-related injury and illnesses, employers in the UK had to incur losses amounting to more than USD 17 billion due to health and safety failings.
Adherence to strict health and safety policies can help businesses reduce losses in terms of work hours and revenue due to reduced productivity and compensations. Additionally, since employees in a safe workplace are more efficient, it results in the production of high-quality products. This helps the business overcome challenges and increase their market value by acquiring new customers and retaining existing ones. By identifying the key competitors and analyzing their growth strategies and the health and safety standards they adhere to, we at Infiniti, help clients benchmark health and safety policies. By analyzing the guidelines set by regulatory bodies in various regions, our competitive intelligence solutions also help global conglomerates benchmark health and safety policies for industries in different countries across the globe.
