You have recently been appointed the company secretary of Foundry Ltd. The following problems emerge at the first board meeting.

(a) The members of the board are concerned as to whether they are taking appropriate steps to com- municate with the employees as to how the company is fulfilling its obligations under Health and Safety legislation. You are asked to write an explanatory memorandum for the next board meeting as to the legal requirements and indicate the steps which the company should be taking.

(b) It appears that Foundry Ltd employs 100 women and 50 men in an area where there is a large number of immigrant families. The managing director appears to have paid little or no attention to sex, race and equal pay legislation. The board, which is concerned about this, asks for an explanatory memorandum, again, for the next board meeting, summarising the main provisions of the relevant legislation and setting out procedures which the company should adopt to ensure that the law is complied with.
