First of all no need to say don't laugh, because even though u may think it's a silly question chances are someone else needs the answer to it as well, and plus it's our job to answer question (even if u think it is silly) thats why we have the forums
Dictionary definition of Legislation: - the laws so made
Now how that relates to I.T is basically in OH&S and in EEO
The Worplace Health and Safety act 1995 is the main one to remember it's purpose is to promote safe and healthy working environments and to ensure that worplaces are free of risk as in terms of injury or disese.
The Act applies to:
Employers
Employees
managers and supervisors
persons in self-employment
principle contractors
designers, manufactures adn suppliers of plant
customers and other visitors
The following are the main terms that occur in the Worplace Health and Safety act 1995:
Workplace Any place where work is performed, or is likely to be performed by a worker, self-employed or employer
Hazard A source of injury or a potential sourse of injury.
High Risk Plant Machinary that has the potential of risk to the public such as a lift, escalator, forlift etc.
Risk Managment The identification of risks presented by the hazard and the measure into place to control it.
Worker Anyone who works for an employer. It is important to remember that a person is regarded as a worker even if he ot she is not paid for the work.
Employer Someone who hires others to work for him or her.
Self-employed peron Someone who works for himself or herself and is not employed by anyone.
Principal contractor The owner of a worplace or someone who has been appointed as the principal contractor by the owner and engages sub-contractors to complete tasks.
Hope that answers your question and i think i have some notes referring to EEO that i should be able to find soon but i knew exactly where these were so i though i'd out these up first
