Hello all,
Does anybody have a list of legislation relating specifically to health and safety of persons not at work i.e. domestic settings?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

There is no safety legislation for someone at home in a domestic setting - by definition you are 'not at work'. H&S legislation is aimed at controlling risks at work.
There is legislation centered around product safety for items you may purchase and use at home e.g. garden machinery, kitchen equipment, electrical equipment etc.
There is of course 'common sense' when working at home, which should hopefully drive you not to do anything too stupid, so as to injure yourself e.g using ladders, changing light bulbs etc.

Thanks both, i was looking at from a landlords/housing association point of view. Obviously he will still have duties to contractors etc but I've been asked to look into anything specifically looking at a landlords/housing association health and safety obligations towards their tenants.
I'm guessing most of this will come under building regs etc.

It helps if you provide full information in your original question..... it isn't possible to guess what you might be asking.

Several H&S statutes place duty on responsible person or duty holder, e.g. asbestos, legionella (COSHH), gas, fire (common areas).
The duty is about compliance, not a duty towards the tenant per se.
I don't have a list.
