Statutory basis, cited on the form
- Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 ss.1, 9 and 14
- Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 reg 43
- Protection of Badgers Act 1992 s.3
- CDM 2015 reg 13
Guidance and standards relied on
These are not law. HSE guidance carries no statutory force in itself, British Standards and NASC technical guidance are industry documents, and the Joint Code of Practice is an insurers' code. They are what the document is built to — and where a court would look for the standard of the reasonable contractor.
- BS 5837:2012
What it is not
It is not a completed document and it is not health and safety advice. You must adapt it to your site and have a competent person complete and sign it off. See why we don't say "compliant".
Format
