Health & Safety Policy Statement

The Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974 was created to ensure the health, safety and welfare of workers in Great Britain (and later the rest of the UK). This act requires employers to provide a safe working environment for all employees. It covers most aspects of health and safety law including health and safety standards, health and safety representatives, health and safety statistics, health and safety enforcement.
