The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. These Regulations supplement the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, requiring employers to assess and manage risks to their employees and others from work activities. This includes carrying out a 'suitable and sufficient' risk assessment. While the Fire Safety Order focuses on non-domestic premises, these regulations have a broader application. Their principles of risk assessment are fundamental to all workplace safety management, creating an overarching duty to manage risks, which includes fire, even where other specific fire legislation also applies. This page provides a structured summary, key provisions, and practical guidance on the application of Management of H&S at Work Regs 1999 to UK fire safety engineering, building design, and Building Safety Act compliance.
