Hi, Can anyone recommend any sites with access to quality H&S documents, e.g. risk assessments, policies etc? I am happy to pay but want to know there is a good variet, and good quality. I have looked at Simply Docs, but don't have access to any document to assess the quality. Thanks

You can get some info/documents like example RA and MS, Policies etc from the HSE website. They are free, as far as I am aware, and can be used as a template.

Thanks, is that in a particular area do you know or in the 'topic' area?

Most of the seconndary sources such as Croner have such templates in addition to the information, but tend to be pricey. http://cronersolutions.c...ealth-and-safety-expert/ I had many yeara go found Jordans, when it was first published, and when British Safety Council provided it to all candiadates who undertook the BSC Diploma a reasoanbly priced resource that has "control sheets" that were template resources. http://www.jordanpublish...th-and-safety-management I am aware that Croner provides limited trials

A word of caution when using the HSE case studies. Some of them contain information that is not as it should be. For example, the case study for the car body shop indicates that the manager is supplying natural rubber latex gloves for protection against paint thinners. Totally the wrong glove! I know that HSE will argue that these documents merely indicate the format that should be followed and that the information contained therein is not necessarily applicable to the particular situation. But how many people, particularly SMEs, will assume that because the information shown is from HSE it must be correct or be able to recognise where the information does not apply to them? Chris

Thanks Chris, interesting! You would most definitely expect them to get this right as people who don't know any different would not pick this up and would accept this as being correct as produced by the HSE.
