Does anyone know where I can obtain legal (as opposed to pirated)versions of all the ACoPs?

I know where the (dry ) regs lie but I want digital version of the "blue books" (yeah I know they are not all blue but you know what I mean!)

The only legitimate way of getting these, of which I am aware, is through a subscription to a service such as IHS.

I hope that you will tell Jim how to get them and not supply a copy!!

All acops are currently subject to a charge - whatever the means of delivery. The EU require that all legislation is freely available but not the guidance materials unfortunately.

Subscription or single purchase is thus the only option. At least until the Whitehall bean counters think that the revenue stream is too small to be overly concerned about the income potential.

David,

Thanks for the offer.
I think I made myself clear that I want to be fully legal.

Can anyone state a source?

Hi Jim,

I subscribe to HSE Direct, which is a Butterworth's Tolley brand, and that gives me access to all the HSE ACOPs, there are of course other providers. But I did hear, on this forum, that most of HSE Books catalogue would be made free this year, don't know if that's true or not,

IHS used to be called 'Technical indices'. Google will give you a link.

Barbour Index and to some extent Croner will be able to supply you with legal rights. Not cheap though.

I think that what you may get is a "pdf" type file, not sure that this is "digital" ie you can't always easily copy and paste text etc from pdfs. They are often scanned copies and the photos and diagrams are often poor quality.

The HSE ACoPs on our service are all PDFs from which the text can be copied and pasted.

Naturally, the quality of illustrations is excellent!

Take a look at: www.barbour.info

TI OHSIS costs dependent on how many licences. We subscribe to OHSIS and other TI packages for several thousand users.

Not sure about Barbour, but OHSIS allows not only cut and paste of text but also the graphics.

Also has very versatile search facility and an incredible range of publishers including e.g. International Labour Organisation.

Regards, Peter
