YOU WISH TO PROVIDE a safe and healthy working environment so it is imperative that you know and carry out your legal responsibilities. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Whilst you cannot control everything, taking the correct the steps now can massively mitigate the impact of any problems that arise later on. A prudent employer will therefore ensure that the recruitment process is unbiased and advertisements are carefully worded, clearly setting out the type of work being offered. The contract of employment will be in writing and meticulously specify what is expected of each party. Furthermore, robust policies and procedures will be in place that can supplement the contract and provide safeguards in the event of raised grievances.
