Construction H&S manual

Its latest Construction Health and Safety Manual contains an updated register of legislation listing all relevant H&S legislation (and any equivalent laws in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), including details of the revoked Construction (Head Protection) Regulations 1989 and Notification of Conventional Tower Cranes Regulations 2010.

The manual's ‘Excavation' section features extended guidance on damage to underground services, while there is new guidance on tower-crane base design in both the ‘Temporary Works' and ‘Work at Height' sections. There is also updated guidance on the new Timber Regulations and Considerate Constructors Scheme.
