As a leading voice in health and safety for the last 100 years, we have witnessed the landscape of safety and accident prevention change - particularly in 1974. 1974, the year of the Three-Day Week, two General Elections, England and Wales failing to qualify for the World Cup (Scotland went out in the group stage), and the year arguably the most important piece of workplace safety legislation – the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act – came into force. Last month marked the anniversary of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 gaining Royal Assent. In our brand new article, Becky Spencer evaluates its impact over the last fifty years: https://lnkd.in/enyWvJr3 #healthandsafety #safety #workplace

All safety campaigns seek to persuade people to adopt different behaviours to keep them and others from harm.

The use of digital navigation devices is becoming more common, with around 76 per cent of drivers using sat navs for their journeys. A well-used digital navigation system can help drivers plan routes and prevent drivers from making last-minute lane changes or hesitating because they are not sure of the directions. However, a badly used sat nav can cause a distraction and increase the risk of a collision. Download and share our free sat nav factsheet with your employees, for top tips and guidance on the use of speed enforcement warning devices and apps: https://lnkd.in/eMXYzAD6 #roadsafety #safety #driversafety #satnav
