A blitz on health and safety at Essex businesses was being carried out today in an effort to cut down on accidents and illness.
Health and Safety Executive inspectors were visiting firms to check standards. The blitz is one of many Essex events taking place in European Week of Safety and Health.
The visits come in the wake of a report which sets targets for reducing accidents and ill-health.
