Health and Safety in the workplace is the responsibility of employers and employees alike. The laws and regulations that cover the workplace are designed to protect all those that work in a business and all visitors whether they are suppliers, colleagues or customers.

Ensuring that the work environment is a safe and hygienic place to be is not just desirable from a business and personal point of view, it is also required by law. There are many government laws which are designed to protect the staff and the public in places of work.
