Health and Safety Law 2024
Emergency workers have additional legal protection from assault. In Scotland, the Emergency Workers (Scotland) Act 2005 makes it a specific offence to assault, obstruct or hinder someone providing an emergency service or someone assisting an emergency worker in an emergency situation. In 2008, the law was extended to include protection for GPs, nurses and midwives working in the community.
