I work for a financial institute which is low risk. Trying to get management to take H&S seriously and budget as they would for other areas of the business is difficult. I have checked the HSE website and have found some data but these are in respect of higher risk industries. Although we have a building portfolio this is costed separately so I am looking at purely office based risks to be managed and budgeted. Does anyone in a similar office based industry have any figures/data/websites which they wouldn't mind sharing so I can come up with some realistic figures? The company would be classed as very large with approx 7,000 staff.

An Australian ergonomist, Maurice Oxenburgh, published a guide to benefit-cost analysis applied to health and safety; the second edition was published last year by Taylor & Francis and included a CDROM with spreadsheet models you can use.
There's a danger of greatly UNDERestimating the real costs of injuries in the insurance industry. Realistic estimates by the HSE of relevant classes of injury for your sector indicate that Musculo-skeletal disorders, stress disorders and injuries from slips, trips and falls cost well into five figures for each injury.
