An Act, largely superseded by the Health and Safety at Work, etc., Act 1974, that extended certain common law duties of employers towards factory employees. Generally, the duties require employers to take reasonable care that the precautionary measures are not only adopted but are strictly observed. Liability is on the occupier of the factory, unless exceptionally it attaches to the owner. Most health and safety obligations are now covered under the Health and Safety At Work, etc., Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
