Businesses’ Legal Obligations Regarding Health & Safety
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places duties on employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health & safety, and ongoing welfare of their employees. This includes providing a safe working environment, suitable training and supervision, and appropriate equipment and resources. In addition, businesses must comply with various other regulations and requirements, including risk assessments, workplace inspections, and incident reporting.
