TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Health and Safety at Work Act 1974: is it too late to teach an old dog new tricks? JO - Policy and practice in health and safety A1 - Humphreys, Stephen J. SP - 19 EP - 35 VL - 5 IS - 1 N2 - The terms 'health' and, especially, 'welfare', together with their accompanying duties as enshrined in the UK's Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, are so poorly understood that one must doubt that they have any real functional value. This paper argues that a debate is needed to give them practical utility.
