It goes on to sates that

"The idea of the Ready Reckoner is to provide employers with a straightforward tool to facilitate assessment of the potential financial benefits of further action to improve health and safety management. … [O]our consultation revealed that many organisation continue to doubt whether the 'good health and safety is good business' message really does apply to them in hard financial terms. The aim of the Ready Reckoner is to address this communication failure"
