Our H&S manual is constantly updated and applicable to variuos different locations. Is it therefore acceptable to keep it on the computer, or does a hard copy have to exist at each location?
This would mean that 3 computer systems would contain access to the manual for a staff of between 100-400.

Hi Jason911,
I would say that, as long as all employees can in fact access the manual on the computer systems, it would be fine to host it electronically.

OK provided ALL staff can access it. Do you have staff who do not have access to the system? If so a printed copy should be provided.

Hi,
The H&S Manual is available on the LAN at the company I work for, however a hard copy is also held as not all staff have LAN access.
Any changes are printed off from the LAN and the hard copy manual updated.
Long winded, but if in any doubt reference can be made to the electronically stored Manual.

Also, take care not to assume that everyone can use a computer. Also, it is still often worthwhile having hard copies of any higher risk information that needs more emphasis.
People who find it hard to use computers may not tell you.
If you can somehow extract in brief format the critical information it may help. This is where photos really help.

Further to the above, you should make sure that it features PROMINENTLY on your intranet home page. Include e-mails on updates to managers/supervisors.
I worked for a site where the previous H&S person had been a real fanatic for law, order and procedures (partly why he was "previous")He had established a voluminous HSE site which he took ages to show me.
But the incoming H&S person (promoted from within) was unable to find it. Nor was any other manager or supervisor I interviewed during the two weeks I was there.
I've never had to design such a site myself, but I know what I like ; easy to find, easy to delve into the depths with just a few clicks, readable, printable, understandable, interesting and conforming to "handicapped access" criteria.
(and) just like any decent web site.
