## Slide 1: UK Health & Safety Legal Framework Overview
- Topic: Post-Robens & Post-Brexit Evaluation of UK H&S standards.
- Core Acts: HSWA 1974, MHSWR 1999, and Human Rights Framework.

## Slide 2: Evaluating the HSWA 1974
- Achievement: Fatal injuries in GB have fallen by 88% since 1974.
- Philosophy: Shifting from prescriptive rules to a goal-setting regime with shared responsibility (Sections 2 & 7).
- Critique: Risk of complacency in 'self-regulation' models.

## Slide 3: The Modern Workforce & Self-Employment
- Extension of responsibility: Robens aimed to include self-employed workers.
- Contemporary Debate: Discussion on deregulation vs. safety as a universal human right (OHCHR 2019).

## Slide 4: Analysis of MHSWR 1999
- Regulation 3: Mandated explicit Risk Assessments for all employers.
- Health Gap: Addresses the 131% rise in work-related stress and mental health issues since the primary 1974 Act.

## Slide 5: Post-Brexit Necessity of the 1999 Regulations
- Level Playing Field: Prevents 'social dumping' and maintains alignment with International Labour Organization (ILO) standards.
- Verdict: MHSWR 1999 is essential for operationalizing the broad principles of the 1974 Act.

## Slide 6: Conclusion
- Workplace safety is defined as a fundamental human right.
- Retention of 1999 regulations is vital for preserving UK trade integrity and worker protection post-Brexit.
