Posted By ian mcnally The Situation Like many other safety advisors I try to keep up to date with legislative changes. Every month I endeavour to produce a summary of all the relevant changes and report these to the board of directors. I require the company to subscribe to various publications every month and scan most of these to try to ensure I don’t miss some important change that may affect the organisation. The Problem / Challenge Much of the information I read is often out of date, incomplete or too vague, wouldn’t it be nice if IOSH could produce such a service for members? I would quite happily cancel a number of other subscriptions in favour of just one to IOSH. Any suggestions? Or details of known websites that offer such a service? yours hopefully Ian

Posted By jom Ian, Have a look at the Lawlex service:- www.lawlex.com.au It's an excellent service. It is Australian focussed, so you'll have to judge its value to yourself. J.

Posted By Peter Lee Croner offer a free e-newsletter which gives details of current issues and a legislation tracker. I have also signed up for RISKS the weekly e-newsletter from the TUC which does pretty much the same. Log onto their respective websites for further details.

Posted By Chris Pope Ian I agree with you. This is a service that Iosh should supply. The government service will obviously cover the minutae of detail, the other providers are operating on a commercial footing, whereas IOSH actually know what we need.
