Health and safety law help - small business...

Hi

I'm going to be starting a business soon, initially with just one other employee.

My question is around health and safety - what sort of things do I need to consider, if any?

I have read there is a health and safety in the workplace poster, for example, that you can purchase - but do I really need this with just the two of us, or is that only if you have a company with, say, ten or more people in?

Any information you could provide would be much appreciated!

Thanks for your help in advance,

Jim

Re : Health and safety law help - small business

You have to display the poster if you have even just the one employee. You also need to carry insurance both public and employer's liability. Have a written health and safety policy and carry out risk assessments. If you provide some more information on the nature of the business I can also provide a check list for you.
