From Health and Safety Executive:
Using personal protective equipment to control risks at work
All employers must provide personal protective equipment (PPE) free of charge if a risk assessment shows it is needed.
To stay safe, workers may have to wear PPE such as safety helmets, gloves, eye or hearing protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and harnesses.
PPE also includes respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to prevent workers breathing in dust, mist, gas or fume.
You can find out more detail in our step guide Using personal protective equipment (PPE) to control risks at work. It includes guidance on:
• when to use PPE
• what the law says
• managing risk using PPE

We also have a downloadable copy of our guidance publication on PPE at work regulations

Easy read guides to support disabled workers
The easy read guides are to help support disabled workers and workers with long-term health conditions.
Easy read is a way of making written information easier to understand. It uses simple language, short sentences and clear images to help explain content.
It is increasingly used to help people who have a learning disability and can also be useful for people who speak English as a second language.
We have added 6 easy read guides to our disabled workers guidance.
You can find the complete collection on our website: Support disabled workers and workers with long-term health conditions in work.

Health and Safety Executive:
Reporting accidents and illness at work
Make sure you submit a Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) report for a workplace accident where necessary.
RIDDOR puts duties on employers, the self-employed and those in control of work premises to report certain serious workplace accidents, occupational diseases and specified dangerous occurrences.
Our website has further information about RIDDOR, including:
the types of incident that must be reported and those that are exempt
a step-by-step guide on how to make a RIDDOR report
definitions of RIDDOR key terms

From Health and Safety Executive:
Protect workers during hot weather
With high temperatures across much of the country, employers must ensure workers are protected during hot weather.
There's no law for maximum working temperature, or when it's too hot to work, because every workplace is different.
However, our website has a practical step guide on temperature in the workplace, which gives employers guidance on:
managing workplace temperature
what the law says
preventing heat stress
protecting those working outdoors.
We also provide a workplace temperature checklist to help employers carry out a basic risk assessment.
View the full range of guidance by visiting HSE's temperature webpages.

From Health and Safety Executive:
Working Minds - aches, pains, strains and stress
Serious aches, pains and strains can have a significant impact on mental health.
Most work-related ill health stems from stress, depression, anxiety and musculoskeletal disorders. Workplace factors such as excessive pressure, demanding workloads and insufficient breaks can negatively impact both mental and physical health.
Problems might arise from manual handling tasks, their workstation set up, or extended periods at a computer without breaks.
Remember to include both physical and mental health issues in routine conversations with workers about health and when reviewing risk assessment.
For more information:
• find out about the measures you can put in place to keep people well on our Work Right website
• view a video from the Head of Health and Safety for Europe at Laing O’Rourke, about reducing the toll on human bodies and mental health
