In the UK, employers have legal obligations to provide health and safety training and information to their employees. The specific requirements can vary depending on the nature of the work and the risks involved.
If employees are engaged in specialised or high-risk activities, additional training may be necessary. This can include training on operating machinery, working at heights, handling hazardous substances, or using specific equipment.
