The phrase ‘Health & Safety’ refers to regulations and procedures intended to prevent accidents from occurring in workplaces and public spaces. The scope of Health & Safety protection needs to be extended more widely. Fewer injuries and accidents at work have occurred since Health & Safety laws were introduced, and those which have happened have been less serious. Raising awareness of Health & Safety outside work settings will have similar benefits. After all, everyone wants to be healthy and safe.
Under Health & Safety legislation, employers are required to undertake ‘risk assessments’ of premises where people work. This is based on the duty of employers not to endanger their workers. But most accidents take place at home. No one would want to go back to the bad old days, when workers risked their lives and health every day. So all householders should be required by law to conduct a risk assessment of their homes.
