Health and safety

Sometimes it can be really hard to speak up when you’re in a new situation with people you don’t know. Remember if you’re worried about your safety at work, you’re not doing anything wrong by speaking up.

The Speak Up Stay Safe campaign from the British Safety Council aims to encourage young people to voice concerns they have, to raise awareness of risk, and to reduce the number of accidents by ensuring you have the knowledge and confidence to deal with issues you experience.
