Hva er Health and Safety? | HR-ordliste | BambooHR
The legal and practical measures an employer takes to protect the wellbeing of workers at work.
Health and safety covers an employer's duty to protect employees from harm — managing risks, providing safe systems of work, equipment and premises, and safeguarding both physical and mental wellbeing.
It is a legal obligation as well as an ethical one, and failures can lead to serious harm, enforcement action and significant liability.
Effective practice combines risk assessment, training, clear procedures and a culture where people feel able to raise concerns, increasingly including psychosocial risks like stress.
