Your Work and Your Health
This website is here to provide support, help and advice to employers,
employees and employee representatives from small to medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs).
During their working life many people may suffer from ill health
caused, or made worse, by their working environment, and this may
involve long term illness. Others may have illnesses that affect
their ability to work. These problems can significantly affect quality
of life and are a burden to business and to the national economy.
Small businesses (companies with fewer than 50 employees) that
employ almost half the UK workforce are most at risk from work-related
ill health, and if the problem is ignored the small company employer
or employee may find their livelihood threatened.
If you are looking for clear guidance about health in the work
place, and want ideas about where to go for advice and support,
this website is designed for you.
