LEGAL REASONS
To avoid fines, penalties, prosecution and
compensation claims.

to carry out active risk management.
Risk management is the corner stone of
modern Health and safety.
SOCIAL REASONS

the organization in the society
Employers reputation can be affected
due to accidents
FINANCIAL REASONS
Accidents at work place cost a great deal
of money, interrupt production and
business disruption. These costs may be
insured, uninsured, direct and indirect.
e.g. compensation claims, medical costs,
loss of expertise, time lost in
investigating the accident.

COST OF ACCIDENT
When an accident occurs there are two types of
losses:Direct Costs:- The measurable costs arising directly
from the accident.
Indirect Costs:- Those which arise indirectly as a
consequence of the event. It is often difficult to quantify
precisely and may be hard to identify.
COSTS OF ACCIDENTS
DIRECT COSTS
Damage to property, buildings, plant and equipment
Repairs or replacement of damaged equipment and buildings
Medical costs
Fines in Criminal courts
Compensation payable to victim
Salaries to unproductive workers on sick leave.
Increases in insurance premiums
INDIRECT COSTS
Loss of staffs working hours due to incident investigation
Loss of staff morale
Cost of remedial action following an investigation, ie. introduction of further
control measures
Compliance with any enforcement notice served
Replacement of labour
Lost production time while dealing with injury
Over time payments to make up for lost time
Costs associated with the rehabilitation of the injured workers and their return
to work
INDIRECT COSTS
fulfilling orders
Penalty clauses for failing to meet delivery dates
Damage to public image and business reputation
Damage to industrial relations leading to industrial action
(strikes).
Loss of business due to accidents.

ROLE OF NATIONAL
GOVERNMENTS AND
INTERNATIONAL
BODIES
Governments
duties
Governments are responsible for drawing up occupational safety and
health policies and making sure that they are implemented. Policies
will be reflected in legislation, and legislation must be enforced. But
legislation cannot cover all workplace risks, and it may also be
advisable to address occupational safety and health issues by means
of collective agreements reached between the social partners.
Policies are more likely to be supported and implemented if
employers and workers, through their respective organizations, have
had a hand in drawing them up. This is regardless of whether they
are in the form of laws, regulations, codes or collective agreements.
The competent authority should issue and periodically review
regulations or codes of practice; instigate research to identify hazards
and to find ways of overcoming them; provide information and advice
to employers and workers;
and take specific measures to avoid catastrophes where potential
ROLE OF NATIONAL
GOVERNMENTS AND
INTERNATIONAL
BODIES
Role and obligations of the competent authority
The formulation of a national OSH policy should reflect the
respective
functions and responsibilities of public authorities,
employers, workers and others, and should recognize the
complementary character of those responsibilities.
Having said that, is the responsibility of the national
designated
competent authority to identify the major problems and
draw up a realistic policy, taking into account the
resources and means available. In doing so, the
competent authority must set priorities on the basis of the
urgency and importance of the problems to be overcome
ROLE OF NATIONAL
GOVERNMENTS AND
INTERNATIONAL
BODIES
Legal standards governing workplace health and safety,
most countries have their own laws, developed over the
years to tackle their issues and concerns
In 1981, the ILO adopted the Occupational Safety
and Health Convention (C155).This describes a basic
policy for health and safety at both the national level
and the level of the individual undertaking.
The occupational Safety Health recommendation
1981(R 164) supplements C155 and provides more
detailed guidance on how to comply with policies of
C155.

countries. It is the world's largest developer of
voluntary international standards and facilitates
world trade by providing common standards
between nations. Nearly 20,000 standards
have been set covering everything from
manufactured products and technology to food
safety, agriculture and healthcare.

LEGAL SYSTEMS
In any Legal system there are two distinct
branches of the Law:
1. Civil Law
2. Criminal Law
CIVIL LAW
The aim of Civil Law is to compensate an
injured party for losses that have been suffered:
Two types of Civil Liability:
1. Fault Liability
2. No Fault Liability
CIVIL LAW
Civil Law with Fault liability :
For the employee to be successful in a Civil claim, they must
prove that:
1. There was a duty of care owed
2. Duty of care owed was breached - negligent
3. The breach resulted in the loss or injury or ill health or death
of the victim.
CRIMINAL LAW
The aim of Criminal Law is to punish and deter
individuals and organisations from behaving in
a way that is unacceptable to society.
Punishment for organisations usually involves
a fine or restriction of activities.
Punishment for individuals could be
imprisonment, fines, restriction of offices held
or a combination.
