Hi Guy's, Does anyone have a paper or a powerpoint presentation they could let me have, which covers the topic of the real costs of an accident from a financial perspective?

Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance Regards Frank

This included sick pay, hiring a replacement (temp), disrupted deliveries, investigation costs...

Peter When I downloaded it from the HSE website, firstly it was free for anyone to download and secondly there was a statement that it was free to circulate, provided no charge was made. Chris
