The Health and Safety Inspector Calls
Health and safety inspectors, be they from the HSE or a Local Authority, plan their inspection visits according to the level of risk at the workplace. High risk workplaces receive more frequent visits than those with a low level of risk to health and safety.
Emerge from the Recession Leaner and Fitter
Further to the article in Issue 52 of the Bottom Line, amendments have now been made to the regulations governing maternity and adoption leave to correspond with the changes to sex discrimination legislation that came into effect in April 2008.
It is written entirely by people who work within the employment law and health and safety profession, and is a vital reference point for managers and company owners who deal with HR and/or Health and Safety on a day to day basis.
