Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
UK | Active Under Review
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to put in place arrangements to control health and safety risks. As a minimum, you should have the processes and procedures required to meet the legal requirements, including:
■ a written health and safety policy (if you employ five or more people);
■ assessments of the risks to employees, contractors, customers, partners, and
any other people who could be affected by your activities – and record the significant findings in writing (if you employ five or more people). Any risk assessment must be ‘suitable and sufficient’;
■ arrangements for the effective planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of the preventive and protective measures that come from risk assessment;
■ access to competent health and safety advice, for example see the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register (OSHCR) at www.hse.gov.uk/oshcr;
■ providing employees with information about the risks in your workplace and how they are protected;
■ instruction and training for employees in how to deal with the risks;
■ ensuring there is adequate and appropriate supervision in place;
■ consulting with employees about their risks at work and current preventive and
protective measures.
