• Flexible scheduling options: Flexible working arrangements are not a legal health and safety obligation.
• Transport to and from work: PPE is an important element but forms only part of the wider duty to maintain a safe environment.
• Personal protective equipment as the sole provision: Supplying PPE alone is insufficient to meet the full legal requirement for a safe workplace.
