Introduction

The pace of change in health and safety law continued unabated in 2022. There were a number of interesting decisions, but possibly the most significant, and certainly contentious, was the NEMA decision on the scope of the “other persons” duty in s 36(2) of the Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA). A number of other decisions relating to this duty demonstrate the difficulty of drawing a sensible line between situations which attract the duty and those that do not.
