Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 - Section 7

We're back! The past 2 episodes were special episodes which we hope you loved listening to but now you have got your angels in the hot seats again.

This episode is moving on to section 7 of the HSAWA'74. As we've had a little gap in recording together... we ended up having a major chat about current topics and past incidents so it took 28 mins to get the section 7 but the chat is pretty informative so we won't apologise :) Lynsey also sends her apologies to anyone in Wales who is shocked at her tiny knowledge of how to say Welsh town names!!

Section 7....This is where the employee gets duties!!

It shall be the duty of every employee while at work—

(a) to take reasonable care for the health and safety of himself and of other persons who may be affected by his acts or omissions at work; and

(b) as regards any duty or requirement imposed on his employer or any other person by or under any of the relevant statutory provisions, to co-operate with him so far as is necessary to enable that duty or requirement to be performed or complied with

About the Podcast

Health and Safety Angels

Busting the barriers

If you just need to get to the bottom of health and safety in an easy, non jargon way then this is the podcast for you. We're busting the barriers of health and safety in the workplace, without the big words and monotone voices. We're going back to the beginning and discussing what health and safety is, why it is important and what everything actually means.
This isn't a podcast for H&S professionals but for those that need to understand H&S for their business or their role within the workplace.

About your hosts

Lynsey Mason

In my social world, I am a mum to 2 teens and a tiny dog called Pepper. I'm a Crossfit convert, but by no means an athlete! I love lifting weights and it has done wonders fors my mental health and self-esteem - I've had my share of drama and now i'm (just) over 40, I take life a little less seriously.
In my work world, I am a freelance H&S tutor, running my own little business called Training Angel. I genuinely have a passion for delivering training to people with a laid back and relaxed vibe. Learning about H&S doesn't have to feel like school, we can learn new things by just having a session chatting and engaging.
As someone that struggles to read and take the info in, I wanted to help others and change their experience of both training courses and understanding health and safety.
When I started my H&S journey, the definitions baffled me as well as finding multiple words used for the same thing!! A big issue is feeling comfortable enough to ask what a word means, not understanding a technical jargon word can create barriers where we give up sorting something out so I want to break down the barriers and help you understand the jargon and hopefully get us all understanding what we need to do.
