Achieving Health and Safety at Work: The Problems of Evaluating Management Effectiveness

Abstract

A research team at the Middlesex Polytechnic recently carried out a small‐scale study on behalf of the Health and Safety Executive to investigate the implementation by companies of certain new provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974. These provisions are contained in Section 2 of the Act and require employers, inter alia, to inform and train their employees in safety matters and to consult on these matters with work‐place safety representatives appointed in pursuance of the Act.
