Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

Regulation 11 says that every workstation must be suitable for the worker using it and the work carried out. Outdoor workstations should provide protection from bad weather, allow the user to leave quickly in an emergency and ensure the user is not likely to slip or fall. Suitable seating must also be provided at workstations where the work can be done sitting down, with a footrest where necessary.
