RELEVANT HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONS AND LAWS 

Certified SafeContractor | Health & Safety Accreditation

​

SafeContractor is a SSIP accreditation that collects and verifies information across health, safety, financial and ethical practices – even extremely specific areas such as permits to work at height, or hazardous material handling. It even includes the common question sets defined within PAS91. SSIP assessments are all judged on core criteria approved by HSE. These core criteria describe what it means for a business to comply with basic health and safety law.

HSE | Health & Safety Executive

​

HSE helps workers understand how they can stay safe and well.  With roots stretching back to 1833 the modern HSE is an independent regulator with over forty years' experience helping Great Britain work well. Using world leading science we have helped protect millions of people from devastating injury and suffering.

PUWER: The Provision and Use of Work EquipmentRegulations 1998

​

The main requirements are essentially that any risks to people's health and safety arising from the use of work equipment are prevented or controlled by:

  • selecting and providing the right equipment for the job

  • ensuring work equipment is safely used by trained people

  • inspecting and maintaining work equipment so it remains safe

These requirements must be met by employers, the relevant self-employed and by people who have control over work equipment. If you are self-employed and your work poses no risk to the health and safety of others, then health and safety law may not apply to you. HSE has guidance to help you understand if the law applies.
