Business - council notification of new employees
The Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963 aims to secure the health, safety and welfare of people employed to work in offices, shops and certain railway premises. If an employer intends to employ anyone to work in an office or shop, they are required by section 49 of the Act to notify the appropriate enforcing authority beforehand.
This is done by completing Health and Safety Executive (HSE) form OSR1. This can be obtained by contacting our Customer Service.
