Gavin Coyle, CMIOSH, wrote the practical guide he wished smaller employers had. It shows how to cut accident rates without straining the budget, by prioritising the risks that matter and applying cost-effective controls in the right order.

  • Written by a Chartered Member of IOSH with frontline experience since 1999.
  • A practical method, not a compliance lecture: risk assessment, training, process, equipment.
  • For owners and managers who need to keep people safe and keep costs under control.

Inside the book

A Practical Method, Applied in Order

The book walks through the same approach our advisors use on site: focus the budget on the most significant risks first, then build up from there.

Risk assessment first

Find the most critical hazards before you spend anything, so every euro goes where it cuts the most risk.

Training that sticks

Practical ways to keep people aware and competent, from short toolbox talks to structured sessions.

Process improvements

Standardise the work, write clear instructions, and review procedures so accidents have fewer chances to happen.

Smart equipment spend

Where guards, stops, and upgrades earn their cost, and where a process change does the same job for less.
