Rules that apply in England
Employers and occupiers have a duty to manage slip risks on their premises, and a gritting log with dates, times and weather conditions is strong evidence if a slip claim is made. In England, fire safety in non-domestic premises falls under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, workplaces have had to separate recycling under Simpler Recycling since 31 March 2025, and the Building Safety Act 2022 adds duties for higher-risk residential buildings.
