Explained in plain English
What are health and safety laws?
Health and safety laws protect people at work and in public places like the Derby water park. They set out duties for employers and operators to assess risks, prevent accidents, and ensure a safe environment. When incidents like a suspected chemical leak occur, these laws guide the investigation and any necessary actions to prevent future problems.
