Service Description: The Isle of Wight Council carries out regular inspections on local businesses and business premises to ensure that health and safety legislation is complied with, and that safe and healthy working conditions are provided for all employees and visitors.
Answer: If you hire agency workers, you must tell the employment business (agency) hiring them to you about risks to the worker’s health and safety and steps you have taken to control them; any necessary legal or professional qualifications or skills; and any necessary health surveillance. The employment business/agency should pass this information on to the worker in a way that he/she can clearly understand, and you must ensure the worker has received and understood it.
