where is the basic information for health and safety contained?

Answer 1

Well what Liggy Lee says in England or try OSHA in the US

Answer 2

In the UK the HSE are the enforcing body, but the basic information (what you are required to do) is to be found in the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. Legislation (in the form of regulations) are implemented under this Act. Legislation is specific (i.e. for work at height, or lifting devices etc) but the basics that any employer/employee/other needs to know are contained in the Health & Safety At Work Act.

Answer 3

U.S. Department of Labor
Occupational Safety & Health Administration

You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. That's why Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, requiring employers to provide workplaces free from serious recognized hazards and to comply with occupational safety and health standards. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) wants every worker to go home whole and healthy every day.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the primary Federal agency for conducting and supporting medical research.
