Good afternoon,
New member but long time viewer of discussion forums. Just a quick question - in terms of health and safety / legal guidance etc. Would members recommend purchasing Tolley's or Redgrave's? Or any other alternatives?
I appreciate nothing beats keeping up to date with HSE and IOSH etc. But I have been afforded the opportunity to purchase extra resources for our safety department.
Cheers.

HI rs10
It depends so much on your personal level of competence, what your organisation does, and what you expect/wish to use the resource for.
My view is that:-
Tolleys is fairly basic and deals with topics in comparative isolation but nowhere near as inclusive as it could be; provides comprehensive current versions of legislation but not too expensive. Go for the CD rather than the looseleaf.
Redgrave is pretty good if you're concerned about litigation, but also not as complete from an HSF&E perspective; provides comprehensive current versions of legislation.
Barbour - I'm not a fan of Barbour at all. Too much stuff that's free from HSE to start with; not really that useful for more complex issues; and expensive.
For mainstream info, the HSE sources are hard to beat for value, but again don't address integration of topics very well.
OK, that's annoyed enough people; send a PM [not a Cameron] if you want to discuss further.

A good overall reference book is "Safety at Work" (Ridley and Channing). Additionally consider "Introduction to Health and Safety at Work" (Hughes and Ferrett). And dont forget the free books / information from HSE.
