About Lesson

1.1.3 Social/Legal Reasons:

The Legal reasons for Health and Safety are probably the reasons why most tolerate the Health and Safety measures. These include preventative (Local authorities), punitive (Criminal law) and compensatory effect of law (Civil law).

The law of land has power to punish a law breaker in the form of fines/prohibition, imprisonment and closure of the businesses. 

  

Under the framework of international and national laws employers are responsible for health and safety management. Most countries have their own legal standards in place to meet the expectations of their society.
