EEF members around the country have been attending our briefings on changes to employment and health and safety law.

Our latest employment law updates covered new regulations on agency workers, the right for employees to request time to train, and the fit note which replaced the sick note on April 6 this year.

EEF’s legal experts explained the obligations being placed on employers by recent measures and proposals and suggested ways to manage them effectively.

Our safety and sustainability updates in April included a briefing on the Health and Safety Executive’s inspection priorities this year, explaining its focus on safe maintenance.

Member briefings are a new enhancement to our People Support and Health, Safety and Environment membership packages. They provide a time-efficient opportunity to meet manufacturers in your area, while making sure you stay up-to-date on rules and regulations governing your business.
