Apologies if I am going over old ground!

Could anybody point me towards a definitive guide containing statutory health and safety record retention schedules? This will avoid hours of trawling through the pertinent legislation.

By the way, I am also looking for environmental retention schedules. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Check the RIDDOR requirements for the retention of Reportable Accidents. The Irish equivalent requires the retention of reported accidents and dangerous occurrences for 10 years.

On coshh related records concerning employees (I stand corrected if otherwise stated) I believe a 40 year period is required. So if an employee leaves or reitres then the clock starts the 40 yr count.
Other areas are more subjective unless regs dictate a period. A 10 year period is the norm.

For Enviro we retain for 10 years altho waste transfer notes are legally only req'd to be retained 3 years at present, but good practice suggests to retain poss to 5 yrs just in case.
