<p>The general duties of an employer with regards to their staff and other people
affected in some way by their business activities (i.e. researchers) are contained
within the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSAW). Additionally, employers have
a common law duty to take reasonable care for their employees.</p><p> </p><p>While
the HSAW only applies to those working in the UK, there is an expectation that employers
consider HSAW aspects of employees working overseas. Individual organisations, including
Universities and Research Councils, publish their own guidance on employees working
abroad.</p>
