INTRODUCTION:
Health and safety law is concerned with both the criminal and civil liabilities of employers towards their employees and to other persons who may be affected by their activities, such as the employees of contractors, visitors and members of the public. It takes the form of both common law and statute law.
Common law
Common law is the unwritten law in that it is not specified in statutes or regulations. It is based on the decisions of the civil courts over many years and bound by the doctrine of precedent. It is essentially law made by judges, which has been formed into a body of principles and rules. As such, it is synonymous with case law and is the principal area of law concerned with civil liability. Its various rules and principles are to be found in the law reports, such as the All England Reports (AER).
