 UK health and safety law explained

Safe workplaces in the UK are built on a small set of key laws, enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities:

• Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974: the main law, which places duties on employers and employees
• Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999: requires employers to assess risks and train staff
• COSHH Regulations 2002: controls exposure to hazardous substances
• Work at Height Regulations 2005: aims to prevent falls and injuries
• RIDDOR 2013: requires certain injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences to be reported

Our courses explain how these laws apply to everyday work, in plain language.
