Members asked for comment on HSE guidance

18 April 2011

IOSH members will have the opportunity next month to comment on the proposed new version of the HSE's HSG65.

The Executive is currently reviewing the guidance aimed at making it more accessible for small businesses, managers and owners. It will also be much shorter and linked to the new section of the HSE website, which will act as an 'information hub' on managing health and safety.
 
The proposed changes to HSG65 will mean it takes more of a 'people and outcome-centred' approach than a 'systems and process-centred' one and is more closely aligned to the 'Plan, Do, Check, Act' model.
 
Richard Jones, IOSH Policy and Technical Director, said: "This is just an early alert to members about this forthcoming opportunity, as we're keen for as many members as possible to respond to this important development in one of HSE's most influential publications.

"As soon as the new draft is available, we'll post it on our consultation pages and invite members to comment."
