Abstract
Through legislation and other social forces the UK and other industrial societies appear to be expecting increasingly higher standards of health and safety to result from engineers' work. Engineers therefore need to know the controls of hazards required by law. They also have to consider their professional duty to anticipate new hazards. This paper gives the results of questioning small samples of UK engineers to assess their problems and needs under health and safety legislation. It includes a specification for engineering education and a description of the teaching in one undergraduate degree.Keywords
