Health and Safety Executive

Are you an employee?

Employees must take care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions. Our Workers: health and safety website shows how you can meet your responsibility to:

  • take reasonable care for your own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by what you do or do not do;
  • co-operate with your employer on health and safety;
  • correctly use work items provided by your employer, including personal protective equipment, in accordance with training or instructions; and
  • not interfere with or misuse anything provided for your health, safety or welfare.
