It is vital to adopt effective health and safety practices, both practically and legally. Employees need to know that it's their duty to take reasonable care in health and safety issues - and that there are consequences for themselves, their colleagues and the company if they fail to do so.
Health and Safety clearly explains the specific issues relating to work areas, from the use of PC monitors to safe ways of lifting and handling in potentially hazardous situations, preventing falls, dealing with fire, electricity and dangerous substances, and basic First Aid.
