FAQs
It’s the process of ensuring your business follows UK laws and regulations for workplace protections, covering the likes of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. Your business must meet its legal obligations with safe work practices through risk assessments, training, and purchasing essential equipment.
The two primary pieces of health and safety legislation are the:
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA): Places a general duty on your business to ensure, so far as is “reasonably practicable”, the welfare of all their employees while at work.
Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999: Sets out specific requirements, such as to make a “suitable and sufficient” assessment of risks, appoint “competent persons”, provide workers with information and training, and operate a written policy.
It’s where a business doesn’t follow the UK’s rules, guidelines, and regulations regarding the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. Failure to comply may result in fines, penalties, injury to employees, and reputational damage. It can even lead to imprisonment, highlighting the impotence of ensuring your business is a safe place to work.
To comply with UK laws and guidelines you must carry out your duty of care as an employer. To do this, you must:
Establish a health & safety policy
Perform risk assessments of your workplace
Train employees (where appropriate)
Purchase and provide effective equipment
Ensure your workplace is a safe place to work
Appoint a competent person to manage workplace responsibilities
There are further steps, depending on your business, which is why a risk assessment can help you determine what you need to do to make your working environment safe.
