Need for OSH Few people would disagree that the workplace should be a safe

environment in which workers and others can carry out their

occupations with no or at least minimal risk to their health.However, in practice, this aim is not that simple to achieve.

In the world, there continue to be an average of two peoplekilled every working day, either at work or by work activities,and many hundreds of thousands of other people areinjured at work or suffer from ill-health as a result of their workeach year. Apart from the human suffering, the financial

impact of this is staggeringly high it is estimated that 25million working days are lost each year as a result and theannual cost is over 4 billion.
