I understand that new legislation is in place for Agencys to be informed of the hazards that exist in workplaces prior to them supplying labour. Does anyone have any further details, or can they point me in the right direction.

Alan,
What I think you want is 'The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003' (SI 2003 No 3319) which came into force on April 6 this year.
Regulation 18 says that agencies or businesses cannot introduce a work-seeker to a hirer unless they have obtained 'sufficient information from the hirer to select a suitable work-seeker for the position which the hirer seeks to fill, including the following.....'
Sections c and d then relate to wanting the hirer to obtain risk assessments undertaken and control measures put into place, and experience , training, qualifications and any authorisations needed by the work-seeker to undertake the role.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Steve Mills

I had one from an agency we employ just a couple of weeks ago. They just asked for the most obvious hazards and how we deal with these - it was very simple stuff.
