What You Need To
Know About Health and Safety And The Law
The Law is an area that frightens many
people. There’s such a lot of it for a start ... and it’s hard
to find out what it is until you break it.
In this module we’re going to look briefly
at some areas which most affect you. Work steadily through the
module and remember headings. A good lawyer does not know all
the Law. They just remember where to look for it!
This module must not be taken as authoritative.
If you have any legal problems, see your solicitor.
