The health and safety at work act (1974) puts a responsibility on all
employers to provide a safe environment at work for their employees
and is probably the main law regarding health and safety in the work
place. It gives employers the responsibility of providing a clean
environment to work in; safety checks on all machinery/equipment,
competent trained and supervised staff and the welfare of employees at
work.
This law has had a massive impact on sport especially in gyms and
health centres as it has provided much safer places of work out, as
all machinery/equipment now has to be checked regularly for faults and
all staff has to be fully qualified preventing injuries and saving
lives. Failure to meet these legal responsibilities could result in
criminal prosecution.
The data protection act (1988) states that personal information must
be obtained fairly and legally and should not be kept for any longer
than necessary. It also states that the person of whom the personal
data belongs to must be informed of why their data is needed and to
whom it is being disclosed to. Data must remain confidential at all
times. This laws main impact would have been on gyms and health
centres as when you sign up for a membership you have to give medical
details on any health problems you might have along with other
personal information such as your telephone number, address, etc. the
data protection acts prevents these company's of disclosing any of
your information to anyone without your approval and that it must be
erased when you are no longer a member.

The disability discrimination act (1993) requires that any sort of
discrimination whether it be racial or harassment, victimisation or
discriminate against someone's disability is unacceptable in general
any practice that makes distinctions between individuals or groups so
as to a disadvantage some and advantage others is illegal.
This law has had a massive effect as it now means in sport everyone is
treated fairly no matter there race, gender or disability everyone
must be treated the same. This prevents people from not bothering due
to them feeling out of place or leaving clubs or coaching session due
to a form of bulling. Discrimination stops people playing sport and we
want to promote sport and increase participation.
For so many years, this nation has been creating policies and laws to protect the people and their way of life. One particular law that was passed still creates a lot of confusion on whether this law pertains to them or not. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act is a federal law to protect workers, their families, and society from sudden or unforeseen job losses due to plant closings and massive layoffs. The WARN Act was originally enacted on August 4, 1988, but it evidentially became effective on February 4, 1989 (Department of Labor, 2013).

Differences and inequalities in relation to sport can be based on several elements such as race, gender, class, or disability. We will explain how different sort of evidences from DD102 support the claim made by Kath Woodward that 'Sport reflects and creates differences and inequalities' (Woodward, 2014, p. 73). This essay will look at how the Oscar Pistorius example demonstrates how rules are created in sport. The evidence will highlight differences between disable and body-able. Following that, we will consider barriers that prevent some social groups from participating in sport, namely people with disability and women. Then we will explore number based evidences supporting the claim that sport reflects and creates class differences and inequalities

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was originally enacted in 1938. The law is enforced by the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor, and includes 5 major provisions that protect employees. (TEXT) The five provisions include: coverage, minimum wage, overtime pay, youth employment, and record keeping. Coverage refers to the types of workers whom are protected by the FLSA.

The Fair Labor Standards Act The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was passed by Congress on June 25th, 1938. The main objective of the act was to eliminate “labor conditions detrimental to the maintenance of the minimum standards of living necessary for health, efficiency and well-being of workers,”[1] who engaged directly or indirectly in interstate commerce, including those involved in production of goods bound for such commerce. A major provision of the act established a maximum work week and minimum wage. Initially, the minimum wage was $0.25 per hour, along with a maximum workweek of 44 hours for the first year, 42 for the second year and 40 thereafter. Minimum wages of $0.25 per hour were established for the first year, $0.30 for the second year, and $0.40 over a period of the next six years.
“The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was created in 1938 to establish a minimum wage and a limit on the number of hours which may be worked in a standard work week. It also provides standards for equal pay, overtime pay, record keeping, and child labor.” This law was created during a time period of great financial and political turmoil.

Introduction Canadian health and safety legislation requires companies and organizations to make a commitment towards occupational health and safety. Maintaining a safe workplace environment has numerous benefits. A safe work environment can boost employee morale, increase productivity, and improve job satisfaction. For companies and organizations, these benefits can lead to less turnover and increased employee retention. They can also reduce absenteeism while improving the culture and image of a company or organization.
