Health and Safety Law 2021 (October 2021)

Chapter 12

Bullying and harassment

[ch 12: page 252]

Forty-eight percent of safety reps in the 2020 TUC biennial safety reps survey identified bullying and harassment as a main concern in their workplace, second only to stress. In sectors including central and local government and the health and voluntary sectors, more than 60% of reps reported bullying and harassment as a top five concern.

Employers have a duty to provide a safe and healthy working environment. This includes protection from bullying and harassment, including sexual harassment.
