We advise employers on safeguarding the health and safety of their employees, and we also investigate workplace accidents, investigate complaints about safety in the workplace and carry out inspections of business premises.
Smokefree Lambeth
On 1 July 2007 smoking in enclosed public places and workplaces became a thing of the past and against the law. This includes all offices, warehouses, workshops, pubs, clubs, theatres, shops, restaurants, taxis, minicabs, hotels and hostels. The new law also bans indoor smoking rooms at work. It will ensure a healthier environment where everyone can socialise, relax, travel, shop and work free from secondhand smoke.

Reporting accidents and ill health at work is a legal requirement. The information enables the enforcing authorities to identify where and how risks arise and to investigate serious accidents.
The COSHH Regulations 1999 provide a framework to help protect people in the workplace against health risks from hazardous substances.
We're responsible for promoting good practice to ensure the health and safety of employees and the public in a range of workplaces.
