As employers have statutory duties under both the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 with regard to occupational health, it is essential that they are aware of their duties and the legal requirements.

It clarifies the duties outlined by law so the employer can feel confident they are complying with the latest legislation.
