Managing work-related violence and aggression
*Violence and aggression at work can have a serious impact on your workers physical and mental health*
HSE’s guidance on violence at work [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/violence/?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=guidance-push&utm_term=violence-1&utm_content=digest-26-sep-24 ] will help you protect your workers. It will help you:
* assess the risks
* put the right controls in place 
* report and learn from incidents 
We have specific guidance on how to support your workers after a violent incident. There are also examples drawn from typical situations where employers have reduced the risk of violence. 
In addition, there is separate advice for workers, which explains how they can help employers prevent violent incidents at work [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/violence/worker/index.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=guidance-push&utm_term=violence-2&utm_content=digest-26-sep-24 ].

Company fined after resident died in fall through floor
The construction company was fined £150,000 following the fatal incident 
The 81-year-old man fell through a hole in his bathroom floor to the kitchen below and was found dead the following evening.
While converting the bathroom into a wet room, the company had removed floorboards to access pipework, but left an unguarded hole in the floor.
HSE’s investigation into the fall found that the company failed to:
* adequately secure the hole as its employees were not properly trained
* carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment, or a method statement, for the work involved
For more information read our press release on how the construction firm was fined after a resident died in a fall through his floor [ https://press.hse.gov.uk/2024/09/18/company-fined-after-loving-grandad-dies-from-fall/?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=press-channels-push&utm_term=resident-death-pr&utm_content=digest-26-sep-24 ].

Health and safety law poster: what you need to know
HSE law poster
The poster explains health and safety laws and lists what workers and their employers should do
If you employ anyone, you must either:
* display the health and safety law poster where your workers can easily read it
* provide each worker with the equivalent health and safety law leaflet
There are various versions of the law poster [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/lawposter.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=guidance-push&utm_term=law-poster-1&utm_content=digest-26-sep-24 ], so you can select the most appropriate for your business. You can:
* download the equivalent the law leaflet [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/lawleaflet.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=guidance-push&utm_term=law-poster-2&utm_content=digest-26-sep-24 ]
