Health and Safety

The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 is the primary legislation covering occupational health and safety in the United Kingdom. The Health and Safety Executive and other enforcing authorities such as SEPA (EA in England and Wales) and the Fire and Rescue Service act on behalf of the Health and Safety Commission to enforce the act and advise on approved codes of practice.

It is a legal requirement for every employer and self-employed person to carry out an assessment of the health and safety risks arising out of their work. If you have 5 or more employees you must record the significant findings of the assessment in writing.

An active Health and Safety policy is also a legal requirement and all employees must be aware of the content.  Again, for those with 5 or more employees this must be in written form and communicated to all staff.
