British Glass - Health & Safety

British Glass is committed to maintaining and improving the industry's health and safety record. Through major initiatives such as the GLASS Charter, an industry-wide programme and the Annual Glass Industry Health & Safety Conference, we are continually helping all sectors of the UK glass industry to improve standards and performance through sharing of best practice, regular committees and events and working groups to tackle specific issues.

"Estimated benefit to industry could be £1.5 million each year"

Good health and safety performance is no accident and represents good business practice -not only improving the health and well being of all employees but also reducing costs and saving money. Using HSE figures the estimated benefit to industry could be £1.5 million each year.

Working closely with industry, unions, the Health & Safety Executive HSE) and other stakeholders allows us to identify and consult on issues as they arise and gives our industry a unique opportunity to raise concerns, input into both UK and EU legislation, share best practice, case studies and initiatives and access a wide range of information, guidance and support.
