Safety flooring UK regulations
As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure that the floors of your premises are safe as much as possible. Regulation 12 from The Workplace (Health, Safety, and Welfare) Regulations 1992 states that employers are required to ensure that workplace floors are suitable, free from obstructions and in good condition. The floors in a workplace should not hinder an individual’s ability to move around the workplace safely.Slips and trips in the workplace can be very dangerous. In order to make workplaces safer, the HSE has created a dedicated collection of industry-specific resources, information and eLearning courses called Shattered Lives. This includes information about how to mitigate falling, slip and trip risks in every industry, in addition to hazard spotting check lists and further information on how to conduct a slip risk assessment.
