Health and safety is vital for all seasonal workers

With many seasonal jobs being filled at this time of year, it is important that employers protect the health and safety of gig economy, agency and temporary workers.

Remember that workers are as likely to have an accident in the first six months at a workplace as they are during the whole of the rest of their working life.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) website has guidance to help users and suppliers of agency and temporary workers understand their health and safety responsibilities. For further information visit Health and safety for gig economy, agency and temporary workers - HSE

If you are an agency or temporary worker then your health and safety is protected by law and employment businesses (agencies) have a duty to make sure they follow it. For further information visit Your health and safety as a gig economy, agency or temporary worker - HSE
