Health and Safety Legislation

Health and safety legislation in the UK is designed to ensure the safety, welfare, and well-being of employees and the general public.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 serves as the primary legislation, outlining the responsibilities of employers, employees, and others involved in the workplace.
It requires employers to provide a safe working environment, assess risks, implement control measures, and provide information, training, and supervision.
Additional regulations cover specific areas such as manual handling, hazardous substances, workplace ergonomics, and fire safety.
Compliance with health and safety legislation is essential to prevent accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses in the workplace.
