October legislation update from SHP includes latest from Fire Safety and Building Safety bills

IFSEC Global’s sister title, Safety & Health Practitioner (SHP), has launched its latest free legislation ebook, providing guidance on everything from the latest coronavirus advice to updates on the incoming fire safety legislation from the UK Government.

The additional burdens and concerns caused to businesses because of legislative requirements, staffing and financial aspects of COVID-19 are well recognised. Despite these challenges, it is crucial that businesses continue to address, not just COVID-related health and safety issues, but health and safety issues in general and work to prevent injury or ill health, both to ensure compliance with regulations, and to also reduce the burden on health services already under severe pressures due to COVID-19. The ebook contains a wide array of the latest measures and guidance to support businesses in understanding the health and safety requirements from the virus.

Also included are the latest updates to the incoming fire safety and building safety legislation changes. The Fire Safety Bill, first announced in March, and Building Safety Bill are both set to come into force this year, and are currently in the final stages of parliamentary review.
