More businesses have signed up to the Health & Safety Executive's (HSE's) latest campaign to prevent workplace injury.
The oldest inn in Britain, Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem, today (March 4th) announced it was supporting the Shattered Lives campaign.
In existence since 1618, the Nottingham inn has 12 employees and hosts many thousands of visitors each year.
General manager of the establishment Rosie St John said the company is pleased to help project the HSE's message.
"Working on licensed premises means that employees are often exposed to wet floors from spilt drinks, so it is essential that all employees fully adhere to health and safety practices," she announced.
Some 315 employees in the city were injured in a workplace slip, trip of fall last year and it is hoped the new campaign will cut these numbers.
Yesterday Colchester Zoo revealed that it too would be supporting the scheme, following the revelation that 1,066 people in Essex had suffered workplace injuries in one year.
