A duty of care is the responsibility to ensure the health; safety and general wellbeing of other people. It can encompass offering constructive feedback and safe working conditions for employees. The UK has a legal obligation for duty of care. People are expected to care about the health and safety of people around them. With such provisions in place; working environments in the UK are most often safe for employees. This is unlike workplace environments in developing countries; as they do not have a legal obligation for duty of care.
