Chapter 6

Safety

[ch 6: page 65]

An employer’s planned changes to terms and conditions or working practices must not put at risk the health, safety and welfare of employees, or anyone else who might be affected by their business, such as contractors, customers, or members of the public.

There is information about employers’ legal health and safety duties throughout this booklet. There is more detailed information in LRD’s annual publication, Health and Safety Law (www.lrdpublications.org.uk/hslaw).
