Due to the long latency of most occupational health problems it can be difficult to get businesses to invest. Any fatalities there may be occur too far down the road.
Presenting on ‘Is good health good for business?’ in the BOHS theatre today at 12:30, Karen Baxter argues that a strong health programme makes good business sense.
