New Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) developed by the Health and Safety Inspectorate

A new Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) has been developed by the Health and Safety Inspectorate.

This is to help those with duties under the Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law 1989 better understand what the law requires them to do.  

The Management of Health and Safety at Work: Approved Code of Practice provides authoritative guidance on how to use the framework of the law, along with other ACoPs and industry guidance to proactively manage work related risks to health and safety and  prevent harm to anyone who may be affected.   

The Health and Safety Inspectorate (HSI) has incorporated its existing guidance as well as that published by the UK HSE and other relevant representative industry bodies.

They are now inviting interested stakeholders to comment on the draft ACoP.

All responses will be fully considered and taken into account when deciding on the best way to proceed.
