  Higher staff turnover, sickness and absenteeism rate will take place when health
and safety will not be managed adequately and this will impact on fulfilling the
orders leading to major impact on the financial resources of the company.

 The RP Company has pay for the costs which will be linked with the repair and
maintenance of the damaged printing equipment, tools and machinery when
health and safety will not be managed adequately.

 Workers staff moral will be down because of the inadequate management of health
and safety and this will directly reduce the productivity, quality and efficiency of
work in the RP organization.

 Organization will not be able to attract new customers and contracts due to more
delays as already this company is facing the labour shortage. Moreover,
organization reputation will be damaged to not delivering orders on the time.

 Organization has to spend money on the hiring and training of new workers and
there will be a loss of production time in this process.

 Insurance premium will be increased and even injured workers can claim for
compensation and this will too impact on the financial resources of the
organization.

 Due to the inadequate standards of the health and safety property damage,
environmental damage and a fatality can take place which cause major fine or
even stoppage of the work.

 There will be loss of production time in investigating the accidents and incidents in
the workplace and additional costs for implementing the additional control
measures in the RP organization.

Therefore, to restrict all of these costs and to avoid any damage to the printing business
health and safety must be improved in the RP Organization.
