Populate your register with relevant legislation

Estimated reading: 2 minutes

If your organisation is new to LUS, the first thing you’ll need to do is populate your register with relevant legislation, via our setup process.

This determines what law is relevant in your register and what new pieces are added automatically.

TIP: For existing registers, cast an eye over this every now and then to ensure your setup is updated to reflect any location or activity changes within the organisation.

Watch our video or read our step-by-step guide to learn how to do this.

1. Hover over the Registers tab, then Legislation, and click Environment or Health & Safety.

2. Click Setup towards the top right corner.

3. Use the tick boxes to select your organisation’s applicable jurisdiction(s), then click Next.

4. The legal register is split into chapters, grouping legal entries together by topic. Click a chapter title to expand it and view the subchapters within. Use the tick boxes on the left to select the subchapters which are applicable to your organisation’s activities.

TIP: Hover over the information button (i) to find out more details about the subchapter.

Selecting the subchapters determines the legislation that is relevant for your organisation, and also ensures any brand new applicable pieces of legislation will also appear in your register when added to LUS.

5. You can view the specific legislation within each subchapter. Click the paragraph button on the right. This will allow you to untick any specific pieces of legislation which may not be relevant to your organisation. 

If you are unsure, you can always make a piece of legislation irrelevant at a later stage.

6. After following this process for each chapter, click Complete. This will update your legal register to contain your applicable legislation.
