Article 3 of the Convention. The Committee notes the amendment to Article 3 of the Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law, 1989, clarifying the duty placed on employers to carry out risk assessments of the safety and health of their employees. It also notes the publication on the inspectorate section of the States of Jersey website, of revised guidelines which reflect the change in law, and is intended to help employers to fulfil their duties in this regard. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on how the duty of employers to carry out risk assessments is supervised by the labour inspectorate. Please also provide information on the impact of these changes on compliance with safety and health legislation in individual workplaces, as well as on the number of industrial accidents and cases of occupational disease.
