...driving for success
The health and safety workplace requirements apply to everyone. The specific duties and requirements will depend on the nature of the business and the risks the present to employees and members of the public.
If you are planning to employ staff then you will need to ensure that they are suitably protected whilst they are at work. You will need to assess the hazards to their health or safety and take steps to prevent or control these.
Even if you do not employ anyone you still have a duty to ensure that members of the public are not at risk of injury or ill health when on your premises.
