Health and safety should be the priority of workers and employers as without it, it may cause loss of workforce. Health and safety in the workplace is about making all reasonable efforts to ensure that each employee goes home from work each day as healthy and physically fit as when he or she arrived in the morning. It is reinforced by certain regulatory board. That would have to depend on the location of your workplace and the industry or nature of your business.
