Workers are as likely to have an accident in the first 6 months at a workplace as during the whole of the rest of their working life. 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.
The HSE website has guidance to help users and suppliers of agency and temporary workers understand their health and safety responsibilities.
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.
