Self‐regulation and Health and Safety

Abstract

Self‐regulation of health and safety within a legal framework was recommended by the Robens Committee Report (1972). Every organisation will be affected by various factors, both internal and external, which will determine how self‐regulation of health and safety will evolve, and these factors will also influence the effectiveness of joint self‐regulation by management and representatives of the workforce. The effects of some of these internal factors on joint self‐regulation of health and safety in a Scottish local authority are focused on mainly, while, at the same time, some of the external factors are identified.
