continuity and change

• H&S at Work Act ’74 – Employers responsibility

• Management of H&S at Work Regs ’99 – Risk Assessment

• is a Code of practice not a legal requirement

• recognised accredited training essential – 5yr updating

• students minimise risks to themselves and others

• not preclude new technologies – if employer accepts risk

• BS compliance cannot confer legal obligations immunity

• some changes to reference numbers of sections

• some information moved to more logical sections

• format of publication – no columns


revisions & new codes

• 2.8 First aid: provision clarified (see CLEAPSS new advice)

Eye wash facilities in place where required

• 3.2.6 Liquefied Petroleum Gases: Hand torches and gases

• 4.5 Hazardous noise: exposure level reduced

to 80 dB ; elimination; protection; zones

• 4.6 Vibration –Regular and frequent exposure can lead to a range of conditions collectively known as Hand/Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). Occasional exposure is unlikely to cause ill health.



•5.2.5 Emergency Switching:

not needed in staff only preparation areas

should not negate other safety systems (eg braking)

• 5.3.3 Interlocked ventilation systems

see CORGI & Building Regs
