The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

All legislation published since 1992 should be read in conjunction with these Regulations. If the specific legislation does not cover specialised aspect of health and safety then it will almost certainly be covered under the generality of these particular Regulations.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations place a specific duty upon all employer's to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to health and safety of their employees (risk assessment).

The Regulations also require that, where there are 5 or more employees, the significant findings of the risk assessment are recorded.
