Health and Safety Guidance to be Free Online

From September 2009, the Health and Safety Executive will be giving away authoritative guidance about how to protect employees from workplace dangers.

Approximately 250 priced publications will be made freely available on the HSE website in PDF Format that can be viewed online or printed for reference.

A full range of HSE guidance and Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs) and guidance on regulations will be available.

The aim of removing the costs of these publications is to aid employers in the better understanding of their legal duties and the health and safety precautions to be taken. It also intends to help Safety Representatives to maintain and improve health and safety at work.
