Does anybody know of a source of authoritive advice on what jabs should be offerred to employees such as surveyors, architects, building inspectors, caretakers, (H&S professionals?) etc who visit UK sites where they may get a minor injury eg rusty nails, barbed wire.
My first thoughts are Tetanus/Hep A.
Any advance?

You might want to speak to one of the occupational health inspectors in the HSE as they could point you in the right direction. You could also speak to a occupational health dept in your local hospital.

TetA as advised already.
Those who may come into contact with bodily fluid, waste water treatment surveys, drainage system surveys. Hep A & Hep B and you should also contact the local health authority and get a Weils disease card for each of them to carry in front of their wallets as Doctor's are clueless when it comes to leptospirosis.
