Legal responsibility

It is the employer’s legal responsibility to assess the potential risk of exposure to these diseases, meet the necessary health and safety guidelines and to refer employees to appropriate agencies for advice, for example a vaccination centre.

Employers are also legally bound to provide their employees with any information or training they need to minimise their exposure to disease. It is then the employee’s responsibility to make sure they abide by safety regulations and follow any immunisation instructions.

Immunisations required to protect workers from workplace infection are covered by COSHH Regulations 2002. These regulations require management records to be kept of compliance activities which includes training records, PPE and vaccination histories.
