What is Health and Safety All About?

Young People at Work - Health and Safety Advice

Find out about health and safety in the workplace. Make sure you have a safe and healthy start in your working life.

 

Health and safety is all about:

 

  • Keeping you safe and healthy now and protecting your future so you can enjoy life to the full.

  • In addition to being safe yourself, you need to know how to work without putting your colleagues at risk.

 

We want you to be fit for work, fit for life, fit for tomorrow.

 

Get sick at work? Have an accident? It will never happen to me! In fact bad things do not only happen to other people - see What is the Problem?

 

Explore this section to find out more - what you should do, what your employer should do and what your rights are. And remember - always ask about things at work that worry you.

 

Try out our links to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and interactive websites specially designed to help you get started at work.
