Management at Work Regulations - What the Law Says  Ref: More InfoManagement
	MANAGEMENT (including HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION) The Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations place an obligation on employers to provide their employees with information relating to their health, safety and welfare, together with the name and address of the relevant enforcing authority and Employment Medical Advisory Services. Employers are required to ensure that the approved poster is displayed, at work, so that it can be easily seen and read by all employees. In addition, The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations require all employers, and self-employed persons, to assess the significant risks to persons (employees and others who may be on their premises) who may be affected by the activities of their undertaking. The assessment involves identification of hazards; establishing who might be harmed and how; evaluation of risks associated with those hazards and whether existing preventive and protective measures are adequate or if additional control measures are needed, recording any significant findings and review or revise the assessment at regular intervals or when there has been a significant change in the workplace or to the activities undertaken. Assessment of risks associated with the workplace must also be undertaken for young persons and new or expectant mothers employed by the organisation. These general assessments may also help to identify health and safety matters which might require specific attention, for example manual handling operations or noise at work. Employers are required to provide their employees with health surveillance, if the assessment highlights this as necessary, and must provide their employees with information on the risks to their health and safety identified by the assessment and the preventive and protective measures in place. Where two or more employers share a workplace (whether on a temporary or a permanent basis) each employer must inform the other employer of the risks to their employees' health and safety arising out of or in connection with the activities undertaken by that employer.
