Wednesday 21 January, 12pm UK | Workplace health and safety is entering another year of fundamental changes. New legislation is reshaping employer duties across fire safety, housing standards, waste and environmental management, and worker protections. With so many reforms coming into force in 2026, and more legislation expected, organisations will need to stay alert and prepare early.
In this webinar, we will take you through the most important updates that will shape health and safety in 2026. From the implementation of Awaab’s Law for social landlords, to upcoming changes in fire safety standards, wet wipe bans, waste tracking, and the wide ranging Employment Rights Bill, we will help you understand what is changing and what you should be doing now. We will also look ahead to longer term reforms such as Martyn’s Law and new environmental permitting frameworks.
