What responsibilities in law does my employer have for my safety?
A large number of laws apply to employers the most important of which is the Health and Safety at Work Act. Employers must take all steps which are "reasonable and practicable" to ensure the safety of their employees.
Punitive punishments can be dished out by the courts for non compliance of the legislation including unlimited fines and in rare cases, jail sentences.
