Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

The European Union Framework Directive (EEC/89/391) on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work requires that all workers have access to preventive occupational health (OH) services. However, the way this duty was transposed into UK law meant that in practice only a small minority of workers have access to comprehensive OH support at work.
