Posted By Bill Skimins Can anyone point me in the right direction, or to web links, to enable me to get the ball rolling for my company. We are a low risk, office environment, made up of mainly software design engineers or R&D. The only hiccup is a laboratory used for small scale soldering and printed circuit board [live] work.

Posted By Robert K Lewis Bill I am presuming that you are looking at some form of EMS when you ask this. If so your policy really needs to be looking at the issues you face in strategic manner, for example there are issues of conservation of resources with regard to heating, lighting, water and materials consumed by the PCB work. You also have issues around waste and recycling/segregation with such as white paper, plastic cups(if used), cans etc. I don't know if the company has a vehicle fleet - what is the stance on the fuels etc. If this is what you are meaning let me know and I will e-mail a copy of mine which is construction based but will give a feel on style and approach. If you think about good safety policies which set out company strategies and policy intents then you will also get a feel. Bob

Posted By James Winter Bill, Remember when you are looking at the environment from an office point to ensure your air conditioning units are covered. You may allready be aware of this, if so i dont mean to teach you to suck eggs but it caught me out. Our units contain R22 which is an Ozone depleting substance and therfore have to be leakage tested every year. James
