The legal position

What British Law Actually Requires

Written plainly, with the source named so you can check it yourself.

The law

Health and safety at work in Great Britain is built on the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 made under it, enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and, in offices, shops and similar premises, by local authorities.

What the employer must do

  • Identify hazards and carry out risk assessments (Management Regulations, reg. 3)
  • Prepare a written health and safety policy if you employ five or more people (s.2(3))
  • Provide information, instruction, training and supervision
  • Consult employees on safety matters

What employees must do

  • Take reasonable care of themselves and others
  • Co-operate with the employer and follow safe systems of work
  • Use equipment and PPE correctly
  • Report hazards, defects and incidents

Your workplace’s own rules

This course gives you the general framework. Your employer’s health and safety policy, risk assessments and local rules tell you how it applies to your job.

Be clear about what this course is. It is a general online health and safety course. It supports — but does not replace — your employer’s own health and safety policy, induction and job-specific training.
