One of a series of Approved Codes with accompanying guidance aligned to a very specific part of the wider Regulations. In particular this document reflects regulations 5 and and accordingly advises on how employers must meet the requirements at places where maintenance, cleaning or repair activities are conducted in workplaces where a dangerous substance is, or could be, present.
Also provides advice on appropriate systems of work and details permit-to-work procedures for hot work and other high risk activities at relevant sites. Applicable to employers and self-employed at most such hazardous workplaces in Great Britain. Styled presentation (eg bold, italics, colour-coding) enables easy distinction between texts pertaining to the Regulations, the Approved Code or additional guidance.
HSE has recently consulted on proposals to review its Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs). Details of proposals and the outcome of the consultation are available.
