Do You Know Your Legal Obligations?

Many UK employers aren't fully aware of what health and safety training the law actually requires from them.

Here's a quick breakdown:

✅ First Aid: You must have an adequate number of trained first aiders. The number depends on your workplace risk level.
✅ Fire Safety: You must carry out fire risk assessments and ensure staff know evacuation procedures.
✅ Manual Handling: Required training for any employee who lifts, carries, or moves loads as part of their role.
✅ Health & Safety Induction: Every new employee must receive basic H&S training before they begin work.

This applies to ALL employers.

Five weeks after being served with a Prohibition Notice for unsafe work at height, a worker at Bow Tie Construction Limited fell from a ladder during renovation works.

He fell 1.65 metres, fracturing both elbows, his forearm, and dislocating both wrists. He needed multiple surgeries.

Our investigation found that Bow Tie Construction Limited had failed to implement a safe system of work for working at height, with wider failings also identified across the site

HSE Inspector Emma Bitz said: "This incident could have easily been prevented. Failure to follow safe working practices can result in life-changing injuries, as this case clearly demonstrates."

Working at height remains one of the leading causes of workplace injury and death. Proper planning, suitable equipment, and effective supervision are essential to keep workers safe.

There is no cure for occupational asthma. Once developed, it's permanent and can force workers to leave the industry they trained for.

This is why proper controls, monitoring and surveillance when using isocyanate-containing paints and finishes aren't just legal requirements - they protect livelihoods.

The family of a teenager killed during demolition works have warned that ignoring health and safety ‘has irreversible consequences’.

Thomas Neate - known as Tom - was on a garage roof removing tiles and other materials when he fell through an opening and suffered severe head injuries.

The 19-year-old was taken to hospital but died several weeks later on 23 September.

Jason Hill, a self‑employed contractor, has been jailed for 12 months after he failed to put any measures in place to prevent a fall from height, despite the clear risk.

Work was being carried out directly from the roof with no scaffolding, decking, or other protective systems to prevent a person falling through or from the structure.

Working at height remains one of the leading causes of workplace injury and death.

In a statement, Tom's family said: "Tom was a kind hearted and hard working young man who was such a huge part of so many people’s lives.

"His death should never have happened and while we acknowledge the court’s decision, no sentence can reflect what we have lost.

“We can only hope that this case serves as a warning to others that ignoring health and safety has irreversible consequences.”
