UK Health and Safety at Work Act

The UK Health and Safety at Work Act requires employers to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of employees and others affected by work activities. It mandates risk assessments, safe systems of work, training, and adequate safety equipment. The law aims to prevent accidents, injuries, and health issues in the workplace by establishing clear responsibilities for employers and employees. It provides a framework for managing health and safety risks and promotes a culture of safety to protect everyone involved.
