Abstract

The measure of agreement in the regulator's theoretical recommendations found by using the J-value technique is contrasted with the very large disparities found on practical health and safety schemes. The J-value method is proposed as a common yardstick for assessing health and safety spend for the use of decision makers in all sectors. Its adoption could lead to better targeting of health and safety spend in all areas of the economy.
