title: General practices and health and safety at work.
abstract: There is a lack of knowledge and understanding of health and safety legislation in general practice surgeries. As a result, compliance with such laws is also seriously lacking. However, both knowledge and compliance can be significantly improved through information, guidance and contact with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
