These words are so true, management are the main role players, if they do not act the employees just make a mockery of the system. Employees all the time dont bother due to them saying that the...
Apalling behaviour by the business owners and apalling fines for such scant regard for employee safety.
Again we see busines closure as an excuse for a pathetic £1 fine - I am sure we will see these...
I hope that anyone considering use of voice alarms will remember that one in seven people has some degree of hearing loss. Alarm systems should work for everybody, including Deaf people.
