With an ever increasing number of Health and Safety law obligations on employers, it is essential that you are fully aware of your duties and responsibilities. Not only can failure lead to injury to your employees, but it can also lead to increased insurance premiums, financial punishment and even imprisonment of directors in the most severe of cases. Everys' solicitors have many years of employment experience and can help you in this growing and complex area of law.

Your Responsibilities As An Employer
Your responsibilities as an employer, under Health and Safety Law, include:

• A duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare of your employees at     work (as far as is reasonably practicable)
• Ensuring that plant and machinery are safe and that safe systems of     work are set and followed

• Provide your employees with information, safety, supervision and     training to ensure their health and safety
• Carry out risk assessments
• If you employ five or more employees, provide a written health and     safety policy statement and bring it to the attention of all of your     employees

The above is a summary of the key responsibilities in relation to the Health and Safety of your employees, but there are many more. Everys can review your current situation or, if you are forming a new company, advise you and draft your documentation for you.
