Dudley Council provides an in-house Waste Collection service, incorporating household refuse, green and recycling collections, as well as a service to local businesses. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers have a duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and other people who might be affected by their business. Employers must do whatever is reasonably practicable to achieve this. This means making sure that workers and others are protected from anything that may cause harm, effectively controlling any risks to injury or health that could arise in the workplace.
