What You Need To Know About Health and Safety And The Law

Download Part 3 here

The Law is an area that frightens many people. There’s such a lot of it for a start ... and it’s hard to find out what it is until you break it.

In this module we’re going to look briefly at some areas which most affect you. Work steadily through the module and remember headings. A good lawyer does not know all the Law. They just remember where to look for it!

This module must not be taken as authoritative. If you have any legal problems, see your solicitor.
