Health & Safety

These pages are designed to provide you with a wealth of Health and Safety Law information. The Health and Safety law affects both the employee and the employer. Many of the links in this section contain documents produced by the HSE (Health and Safety Executive). This ensures that the information supplied is accurate. We do recommend looking at the HSE Website, to ensure the info is also current. The protective clothing used in the workplace plays a large part of staying within the legislation. There is a link on the right that allows you to request catalogues of workwear that conforms to the regulations.

"Each year about 3,500 people are killed on our roads and 40,000 are seriously injured. Each one results in terrible pain and suffering. A significant proportion of these deaths and injuries can be connected with work. Accidents involving heavy goods vehicles, buses, company car and van drivers, despatch riders are all examples." (HSE)
