Employment Status: Health & Safety Considerations For Employers

Do you have the same Health & Safety obligations towards workers and employees? What about self-employed persons that you work with?

In April 2022, the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations (PPER) were updated so that employers now have to provide PPE to workers as well as employees. Regulations changes like this can be a lot to wrap your head around, but essentially it made it even more important for you to understand your Health & Safety responsibilities towards the people who work for you.
