A Bill to amend the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to place a requirement on employers to take proactive measures to prevent violence and harassment in the workplace; to make provision for protections for women and girls in the workplace; and to require the Health and Safety Executive to publish a Health and Safety Framework on violence and harassment in the workplace, including violence against women and girls in the workplace.
The bill would require employers to take proactive steps to prevent violence and harassment at work and would provide extra protections for women and girls. It would also require the Health and Safety Executive to publish a formal Health and Safety Framework on violence and harassment in workplaces, including violence against women and girls, to guide employers and inspectors.
The bill is at the 2nd reading in the Commons. If it progresses, it would move on to committee scrutiny and later stages.
