Guide to accident & incident reporting

Whenever substances that are hazardous to health are present in the workplace employers are under a duty to make sure that they cannot and are not allowed to cause ill-health to any person.

Every employer and every person in control of shared premises where there are commercial relationships has a responsibility for fire safety arrangements and procedures at those premises.

Occupational health surveillance gives an early indication of onset of occupational ill health allowing corrective action to be taken before it can develop into a long term of significant problem.
