Amendments to the Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law 1989

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:
