Working safely is in the interest and concern of all staff – both employers and employees. Although most of the legal duties fall to the employer, Health and Safety law is one of the few pieces of legislation that also places duties on the employee.
There are three key reasons for managing risk at work – moral – not causing harm to work colleagues; legislative – the law requires it; and finally financial – as all accidents bear a cost to both parties.
