Health at work

Your workplace probably looks harmless – it isn’t. Unless you check things out, you may not realise how dangerous it can be.

Lots of people have accidents at work. Some people are badly hurt. They can spend time in hospital and it might be weeks before they can do the things they want to. Some people are permanently disabled or even killed. Make sure this doesn't happen to you and find out about staying safe at work.

Visit the Health and Safety Executive's young people's website to find out about the common causes of accidents and how you can try to avoid them.
