Hello,

I am currently working on an essay for uni and am looking for a very current version of an OH&S act which I can access off of the net.

Anybody who can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you mean the Health and Safety at Work, Etc Act 1974 as amended,I am only aware of this on HSEDirect and you will need at least a one day subscription! If anyone knows a free source of this on the Web it would be of interest.

Dear all,
GO here for sections 2-9 og HSWA74 and many other full sets of regulation:

http://www.vl28.dial.pipex.com/UKHSLeg.htm

It is part of the TUC's "one stop shop for health and safety". I used to use it a lot in my safety rep days, and still find it useful now I'm a safety advisor.

Up the unions! (But don't tell my Directors!)

Thanks for the Web address. I see that they have also added Sections 28 and 37. Things seem to have improved somewhat on the availability of essential information. It always seemed wrong that Acts, Regulations, etc could be produced incessantly and yet those affected had to discover their existance and then pay to get hold of them! I think it was something to do with an HMSO monopoly.
