The working time directive explained

Article Abstract:

The European Union's Working Time Directive, adopted in 1993, should become law by November 23, 1996. Despite the UK government's objection to what it sees as a controversial directive, it will have to comply with the new rules, which set out working time standards for employees. The main provisions of the directive establish minimum daily rest periods, minimum annual leave periods and maximum weekly working time, plus some aspects of shift and night work. Some workers are exempt from the new law, including those who work in sectors such as sea and air travel, and trainee doctors.

Role Model

Article Abstract:

Occupational health and safety regulations are often unwelcome if company employees are unaware of their positive influence on the workplace. Attitudes towards health and safety improve once employees become more familiar with numerous benefits. However, it is essential that key company executives are also aware of their positive attributes to facilitate improvements in the workplace.
