The Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law 1989 is the primary occupational health and safety legislation in Jersey. Article 3 places a general duty on employers to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees.
One of the amendments to the legislation has resulted in Article 3 being updated to specifically mention a requirement for employers to risk assess their places of work. Further information on the changes can be obtained by clicking on the link below:
