The Employer is effectively GUILTY until proven innocent. Can you demonstrate that all
reasonable measures, to comply with
Health and Safety Legislation, have
been implemented?
EMPLOYERS MUST
1 - Care for the welfare and health and safety at work of its employees.
2 - Prepare and review a fully documented
Health and Safety Policy, which must be
brought to the attention of all staff.
3 - Encourage worker consultation
through appointed representatives
and committees.
4 - Regularly undertake risk assessments that will identify hazards, which if they
cannot be eliminated, should be assessed to establish the degree of risk that
the employee would be exposed to whilst at work.
5 - The Health and Safety (Display
Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992
legally require an assessment of each
computer user’s workstation in order
to conduct a hazard/risk analysis.
6 - Employers are required to ensure that
chairs are regularly checked and maintained.
