ABSTRACT
Rationale The organisation is required by law to ensure that all its employees receive information relevant to their (and others including the public) health, safety and well-being related to or at their work. The organisation is also required to ensure that all employees are aware of their responsibilities and procedures to assess and manage all clinical and other types of risks and report things when they go wrong. Information provided will be general rather than role specific and therefore relevant to all new employees, to provide sufficient information early in employment to work safely. This will not negate the need for more intensive training to meet the needs of specific roles and/or responsibilities.
