A HSE Health and Safety Executive product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jun 29, 2006

The UK minister for health and safety has presented awards to the first 25 organisations to complete the Health and Safety Executive's Corporate Health and Safety Performance Index (CHaSPI).

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, the UK minister for health and safety, has presented awards to the first 25 organisations to complete the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) Corporate Health and Safety Performance Index (CHaSPI).

CHaSPI is a web-based tool that allows large organisations to track their health and safety performance year on year and to compare their performance against others.

Lord Hunt commented, "Growing support and use of CHaSPI will help drive health and safety improvements in large organisations." Speaking at the event, Health and Safety Commission Chair Bill Callaghan said, "We see good health and safety management as part of good management in general".

"CHaSPI can help this and it promotes the Commission's strategy of working with and through others.

"We see CHaSPI as a long term measure, so it is gratifying to see the steady increase in organisations whose results already appear on the website." CHaSPI is designed for completion by organisation with over 250 employees.

Results are publicly available, thereby allowing key stakeholders, like current and potential investors, to view the results.

Good health and safety management is often a sign of a well managed organisation as it shows that the organisation takes the welfare of its staff seriously.

Health and safety failings cost companies in terms of lost productivity, staff time, reputation and also the possibility of formal enforcement being taken against them.
