Keeping your employees safe makes good business sense

Dog bites are a serious problem.

Employers have a duty to help to reduce the risk of dog attacks. The cost to industry is increasing exponentially, costing hundreds of thousands of pounds each year in compensation claims, not to mention the number of sick days taken.

Recent figures reveal that the number of postal workers suffering dog attacks has increased by around 20% on the previous year. Approximately 4800 workers were attacked by dogs in 2008/2009 compared to approximately 4000 attacks in 2007/2008. The Bark Busters Dog Safety Programme™ delivers a tremendous ROI by reducing the medical, insurance, legal and training costs associated with dog-related injuries.
