- health and safety at
work act 1974
The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) requires employers to do
all that is reasonably practicable to safeguard their employees’
health. Since the beginning of 1993 management of health and safety
regulations further specify that the employer makes suitable and
sufficient assessments of hazards and risk in the workplace and ensures
that appropriate health surveillance is carried out. No doubt this will
be expanded with regard to the European Community Directive on physical
hazards in the workplace.
