Health And Safety Measures At Work

It is the legal responsibility of your employer to provide you with safe and suitable equipment for you to do your job in a safe manner. The employer also has the responsibility to train you in how to safely use the work equipment, to inspect and maintain the work equipment, and to ensure that the work equipment is used correctly through proper training and effective supervision. 

This covers all the equipment that an employee may use at work place from chair or computer to a pneumatic drill or the dustbin man's dustcart. Whatever the equipment, your employer has responsibility for it and the way you use it.

Your employer must ensure, to the best of his ability, that the staff that he employs around you are competent to do theirjobs, and do not put others at risk by their actions. So if an employee injures another through a failure to use equipment properly, or a drink or drugs problem, or simply when messing around, then the employer is potentially liable for those actions.

Your employer has a duty to protect you and tell you about health and safety issues that affect you. They also have a legal obligation to report certain accidents and incidents and to pay you sick pay if you are entitled to it.

Your employer has to carry out a risk assessment and do what's needed to take care of the health and safety of employees and visitors. This includes deciding how many first aiders are needed, and what kind of first aid equipment and facilities should be provided. First aiders have no statutory right to extra pay, but some employers do offer this. Employees must also take reasonable care over their own health and safety.
