6. More guidance and support
If you work in the gig economy or do temporary work, you will also find further guidance in Health and safety for gig economy, agency and temporary workers.
In addition to health and safety protection at work, British law also gives workers basic rights such as limits on how long you have to work, time off, rest breaks and paid annual leave.
