You have a duty to safeguard the health, safety and
welfare of your employees, contractors and members of the public
who may visit your business.
You must use safe systems of work and make sure your equipment
is safe to use.
If you employ five or more people you also need a written safety
policy which documents your responsibilities.
If you have no employees you are still required to avoid
unsafe practices which may endanger yourself.
If you or one of your employees is off work for more than three
days as a result of an accident at work or a member of the public
has an accident and is taken to hospital you must inform us by
completing an accident report form.
For more information or to order accident
report forms contact our
Food and Safety
team.
