Now Let’s Get Started, the UK’s premier business start-up website can now supply health and safety training DVDs to help small businesses comply with the legal requirement to provide health and safety training to their staff.

UK businesses have a legal obligation to provide free health and safety training for their staff. But training staff in health and safety does more than protect businesses against the law, it also helps them protect their business by ensuring staff do not behave or act in a way that will cause themselves or others injury. This will reduce the number of days lost due to illness or injury, show a duty of care to staff so enhance employee relations, and will save on expensive insurance negligence claims. The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act was given Royal Assent on 26 July 2007 and came into force on 6th April 2008. It is a new landmark in law and the culmination of ten years of campaigning by unions and other groups. The new corporate manslaughter or homicide law means that company directors can be personally liable and imprisoned if it can be shown that they have failed to take their health and safety responsibility seriously.

The 3 most popular health and safety titles are available for £99 + VAT each and with free postage and packing. The DVDs cover all the key information small businesses need and to add some interest they are each introduced by a famous TV personality. The titles available are:
