Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers have a duty to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees, which includes providing safe working conditions, proper training, and necessary safety equipment. Employees, on the other hand, are responsible for taking care of their own health and safety and that of others by following safety procedures and reporting hazards. Additionally, health and safety representatives and committees may be established to facilitate communication and address safety concerns within the workplace. Compliance with other relevant legislation, such as the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, further outlines specific responsibilities and practices to enhance workplace safety.
