What facilities do I need to provide for my employees?

You must provide a safe and healthy environment for all your employees. You also need to take account of their welfare needs. This includes people with disabilities.

For example, you must provide:

  • Toilets and washing facilities
  • Drinking water
  • Changing facilities if special clothing is worn
  • Somewhere to rest and eat during breaks

You also need to think about lighting and temperature.
