A legal register tailored specifically to your organisation
Understanding which health and safety and environmental legislation applies to your organisation is a fundamental part of effective legal compliance and a bespoke legal register will help.
However, your organisation’s legal obligations are unlikely to be the same as those of another business. Your activities, premises, processes, equipment, environmental impacts and geographical locations all influence the legislation that applies to you.
That is why we do not provide generic, off-the-shelf legal registers.
We compile bespoke legal registers specifically for your organisation, identifying the health and safety and environmental legislation relevant to your activities and operations.
The result is a practical and focused legal compliance tool containing the legislation that matters to your organisation.
Why a bespoke legal register?
A generic legal register may contain hundreds of pieces of legislation, many of which may have little or no relevance to your business.
This can make it difficult to determine which legal requirements actually apply to you.
Our approach is different.
We consider your organisation and its activities when compiling your register, allowing us to identify the legislation that is relevant to your particular circumstances.
Your legal register is therefore developed for your organisation — not simply selected from a standard template.
This provides a more meaningful basis for reviewing legal compliance and identifying areas where further action may be required.
Health & safety and environmental legislation
Our specialist bespoke legal registers cover health and safety and environmental legislation across various jurisdictions including:
- United Kingdom
- Isle of Man
- Republic of Ireland
Depending on your organisation, your register may address legislation covering areas such as:
- Occupational health and safety
- Workplace health and safety
- Fire safety
- Construction and maintenance
- Machinery and work equipment
- Hazardous substances
- Environmental protection
- Waste management
- Pollution prevention and control
- Water and water pollution
- Emissions
- Environmental permitting
- Other legislation relevant to your activities
The precise content of the register is determined by your organisation’s circumstances.
Your legal register is kept up to date
Legislation does not stand still.
New legislation is introduced, existing requirements are amended and legislation can be revoked or replaced. A legal register that was accurate when it was first produced can therefore become outdated over time.
We address this through our quarterly legal register update service.
Your register is reviewed on a quarterly basis and amended where relevant legislative developments affect your organisation.
This means you do not simply receive a legal register and then have to monitor legislative developments yourself.
You have an ongoing service designed to help keep your legal register current and relevant.
More than a list of legislation
A well-designed legal register should be more than a long list of Acts, Regulations and other legal instruments.
It should help your organisation understand:
What legislation applies?
The register identifies the relevant health and safety and environmental legislation applicable to your organisation.
What are our obligations?
Information is provided to help you understand the principal requirements arising from the applicable legislation.
Are we meeting those requirements?
The register can be used as a reference when reviewing your existing arrangements and assessing legal compliance.
Has the law changed?
Quarterly updates help ensure that relevant legislative changes are reflected in your register.
Supporting ISO and management system compliance
A current legal register can also form an important part of an organisation’s management system.
For organisations operating or seeking certification to standards such as ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems and ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems, identifying applicable legal and other requirements is an important element of the management system.
A bespoke and regularly updated legal register can provide documented evidence that applicable legislation has been identified and is being kept under review.
A legal register designed around your business
Whether you operate from a single location or across multiple sites, the legislation applicable to your organisation needs to be considered in the context of what you actually do.
Our bespoke approach means that your legal register is developed around your organisation rather than requiring your organisation to work around a generic register.
Relevant. Bespoke. Regularly updated.
That is the difference between a legal register that simply exists and one that can be used as a practical part of your compliance management system.
