2.1 Overview of Legislations and regulations
Health and safety at work act 1974
The HASAWA 1974 needs that workplaces deliver:
 Sufficient training of workers to make sure that procedures of health and safety are
understood and followed.
 Sufficient welfare necessities for employees at work
 A safe functioning environment that is appropriately maintained and where processes
within it are accompanied safely
 Appropriate provision of pertinent information, training, and supervision (Health and
safety executive, 2006).
For workstations with five or additional staffs, employers should keep a printed record of their
wellbeing and safety policy, as well as discuss with staffs (or member representatives) on
pertinent policies and related health and safety preparations. The health, safety, and welfare
(HSW) guidelines apply to all features of the functioning environment and need employers to
deliver an office that is not only harmless but also appropriate for the responsibilities that are
being followed within it (Health and safety executive, 2006).
