How do different legislations affect IT infrastructure and its operations

The Health and safety act was originally enacted after an inquiry by Lord Robens towards the end of Harold Wilson's First Government. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is the main piece of legislation covering health and safety in the workplace. It outlines the responsibilities of both the employer and employee in ensuring there is a safe working environment. An example of this  would be that employers are responsible for maintaining a safe working environment, including displaying warning signs. 

Employee Responsibilities

To take reasonable care of your own and others safety
Not to interfere or misuse anything has been provided for your health and safety such as safety equipment. To report any illness or injury that will affect your ability to work. To cooperate with your employer by undergoing training, wearing protective clothing and by following health and safety policies

Employer Responsibilities

Ensure health and safety training is undertaken by all staff. Provide appropriate protective clothing and equipment. Make sure all facilities meet minimal health and safety requirement in regards to ventilation, temperature and noise. Have an up-to-date health and safety policy. Maintain a safe working environment by ensuring equipment is properly maintained and safe to use, that appropriate warning signs are displayed and that adequate first aid facilities are available.

Global RTS The trip was in the morning on the 28th March 2025, Will and Patrick organised it. The purpose of the trip was to gain experience in the aviation industry, specifically air traffic control, using a simulator. We were shown how there simulators work and we were shown how to use them as well as being able to communicate using the aviation alphabet. We met people who worked there, learning how to become an air traffic controller. We used there main sim that used 4 big TVs to show a graphically simulated view of a run way from the view of a tower. We also communicated with headsets to simulate how real air traffic controllers communicate to pilots.
