Health & Safety at Work Act 1974


Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974

The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 , also referred to as HASAW or HSW, is the primary piece of legislation covering occupational health and safety in the United Kingdom. The Health and Safety Executive is responsible for enforcing the Act and a number of other Acts and Statutory Instruments relevant to the working environment.
The full text of the Act is available at the UK legislation website link to external website, where it can also be downloaded free of charge.
Statutory instruments are the secondary types of legislation made under specific Acts of Parliament. These cover a wide range of subjects, from control of asbestos at work, diving, escape and rescue from mines, ionising radiation and working at height.
If you need further advice on legal matters concerning the workplace, please contactHSE Infoline or consult Sources of information and external advisory services.

Disclaimer

The information on this site is regularly updated and checked for accuracy and completeness. However it is important to note that legal information must be used with a degree of caution.
Users must be aware that whilst an Act or Statutory Instrument (SI) may still be in force, parts may have been superseded by later legislation or completely withdrawn. If you use a printed or online version of an Act or Statutory Instrument this will generally be in the form that it was originally produced.
Any withdrawn or amended sections will still be contained within the Act or SI and there will be nothing in the document to identify those sections that no longer apply.
There are several solutions which you can try:
  • seek advice from HSE Infoline.
  • seek independent legal advice.

  1. Hi
    As we discussed you now need to add some information of when you applied some of these values in a practical way whilst out shooting.
    Also remember to include the wildlife and countryside act, and the sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) as well.
