Health and Safety Law 2024

When implementing their working time obligations, EU law requires employers to prioritise workers’ safety, hygiene and health over “purely economic considerations” (Federacion de Servicios Privados del Sindicato Comisiones Obreras v Tyco Integrated Security s.l. [2015] EUEJC C-266/14). (See Chapter 1 concerning the status and interpretation of EU law in the UK now the EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 is in force.)
