<strong>Use</strong> <strong>of</strong> contractors<br />

HEALTH AND SAFETY LAW<br />

The Management <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> at Work Regulations 1999 are <strong>of</strong> particular<br />

importance in any client/contractor relationship. These Regulations set out<br />

requirements for a health <strong>and</strong> safety management system in all workplaces, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

accompanying Approved Code <strong>of</strong> Practice gives advice on compliance.<br />

Clients <strong>and</strong> contractors have legal responsibilities under health <strong>and</strong> safety<br />

regulations dealing with specific hazards (eg the Control <strong>of</strong> Substances Hazardous<br />

to <strong>Health</strong> Regulations 1999, the Control <strong>of</strong> Lead at Work Regulations 1998 <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Control <strong>of</strong> Asbestos at Work Regulations 1987).<br />
