Laws In The Workplace
U.K cctv laws in the workplace?
My partners employer has recently installed night vision cctv within the workplace. He has put the camera in an inconspicuous place, he has not informed the staff, also not placed any warning notices of surveillance equipment. Could someone point me to a website which would clarify the laws (within the U.K) on this matter. Many thanks
Data Protection Act – CCTV
The Data Protection Act 1988 and subordinate legislation establishes how employers can process employee pictures and / or video footage. The main points are:
The monitoring must be no more than is necessary and proportionate to achieve the business purpose e.g. if an employer believes an employee is stealing money from a till, they should only have CCTV coverage around that area.
An employer must not use personal data collected through CCTV monitoring for purposes other than the prevention or detection of criminal activity.
CCTV footage should be securely locked away. Employers have responsibilities regarding the collection and use of CCTV footage which includes the common law duty of confidence.
An impact assessment must be carried out. If CCTV is used, all staff affected must be told and be made aware of the nature and extent of monitoring (unless of course it would defeat the objective of prevention or detection of crime).
The employer should ensure that there is a clear record of the impact assessment of the CCTV.
