Health and Safety at Work

The advice in this section is to assist employers in identifying and complying with their obligations under health and safety law.

You will need to ensure that you have thought about the health and safety risks not only to your employees but also to any contractors or members of the public who visit your business. 

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides information to assist businesses in the start-up process, including: 

• an easy guide to health and safety 
• starter packs
• guidance for catering and hospitality businesses
• guidance books and advice leaflets
