Posted By dave123 Hi all, Am trying to put together a register of legislation but am unsure about the level of detail required. This is to assist with demonstrating compliance with OHSAS. If you take the "whatever" regulations 200x, does it suffice to say there is a procedure for dealing with "whatever" topic, or do you need to break it down regulation by regulation i.e. a. compliance with regulation 1 is by abc b. compliance with regulation 2 is by xxx, and so forth. The second method could take forever. Also, is there a preference for using matrices, sequential tables or other? Does anyone have a "screen shot" of what it might look like (I'm not looking to plagiarise anyone's work, just trying to get a handle on what layouts have worked for people in the past). Thanks.

Posted By dave123 Thanks Dave. Does anybody else have a view regarding the extent to which each Act or piece of legislation must be listed when doing up a Register of Legislation? I'd like to get a couple more opinions to see what consensus there might be. Thanks, Dave.

Posted By Steve Clark The only thing i can add is that during a recent OHSAS Certification audit we were given a non conformance for the register not being 'site specific' i.e. we had a 'company' register which listed the most significant legislation that applied to us across our business. So we now have them broken down into site specific, warehouse, transport and a couple of other areas. I guess it keeps someone in a job.

Posted By West In our company we have created a matrix with all applicable legislation above and types of operations, and indicated by tick which legislation applies to every type of operation.
