Raise a health and safety concern

The law requires employers and the self-employed to conduct their business to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, people are not exposed to risks to their health or safety. This includes providing essential welfare facilities for employees.

You can find out what the health and safety law requires by searching the Health and Safety Executive's website. Through the website you can also raise a health and safety concern with the HSE:

Report a health and safety issue (HSE)

If you think an employer is putting your or someone else's safety at risk, you should raise your concerns with that employer or person.

If no improvement is made, you can email environmentalhealth@waverley.gov.uk or call 01483 523393.

What happens after I raise a concern?

After a concern has been raised we will assess the level of risk. Low-risk complaints will not be investigated.

We may ask the employer to investigate your concern or we may look into it ourselves.

We cannot help you get compensation or resolve problems of civil law.
