Across the UK, employers have a duty to protect the safety and health, as far as is reasonably practicable, of their employees. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HASAWA) lays down wide-ranging duties on employers. Employers must protect the “health, safety and welfare” of all their employees, as well as others on their premises, including temps, casual workers, the self-employed, clients, visitors and the general public. However, these duties are qualified with the words ‘so far as is reasonably practicable’. This means that employers can argue that the costs of a particular safety measure are not justified by the reduction in risk that the measure would produce. But it does not mean they can avoid their responsibilities simply by claiming that they cannot afford improvements.

Important information:
Organisations should provide a safe therapeutic environment to reduce the risk of injury to individuals in their care, staff and visitors. This will help prevent untoward incidents caused by any use of illicit substances/alcohol or dangerous items. This is achieved through staff training and those staff having access to clear guidance and support in instances where action needs to be taken due to suspected or actual possession of dangerous items and/or harmful substances.
