Your Responsibility as an Employer
Understanding your responsibilities as an employer is crucial in maintaining a safe and compliant workplace. At RAM Consult (Risk Management), we assist businesses in Weston-super-Mare with risk assessment, health and safety compliance, and employee training to ensure you meet all regulatory requirements with confidence and professionalism.
Legal responsibilities of employers
Health and safety law states that organisations must:
- assess risks to employees, customers, partners and any other people who could be affected by their activities;
- arrange for the effective planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of preventive and protective measures;
- have a written health and safety policy if they employ five or more people;
- ensure they have access to competent health and safety advice;
- consult employees about their risks at work and current preventive and protective measures.
Failure to comply with these requirements can have serious consequences – for both organisations and individuals. Sanctions include fines, imprisonment and disqualification.
Navigating Employer Responsibilities
As an employer, you have a duty to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of your employees.
