View your monthly updates

Estimated reading: 2 minutes

At the end of every month, you’ll receive a set of legislation updates tailored to your organisation. The updates provided are only those relevant to your location(s) and activities, saving time in determining applicable changes to compliance obligations.

These are circulated via an email reminder and are accessible within the system.

1. Hover over the Updates tab and click Environment or Health & Safety. You will have a separate set of updates for each discipline.

2. This will display your organisation’s set of updates for the most recent month.

Each update will list the title, what it has been updated by, and a mini summary.

3. Click on each update to access it in full within the associated legal entry. All updates are translated into plain English and narrowed down to your duties as an organisation, to make keeping on top of changes quick and simple.

You should record compliance against each update, to form an audit trail showing your updates are being accessed and implemented.

4. Brand new pieces of legislation will also appear in your monthly update and we will add them to your legal register, if they are going to be applicable to your organisation. These will say New entry when clicked on.

TIP: For brand new entries, you will need to review the piece in full – use the Summary and Duties to determine your compliance obligations and leave a compliance comment, set any compliance actions if required, demonstrate the compliance status by setting a traffic light, and set a review date for your next periodic review.

5. We will also inform you if any relevant pieces are taken out of force. We will automatically remove these from your register and display a red banner at the top to show the piece has been archived.

6. If there are any changes to guidance against your relevant legislation, these will be displayed in a section at the bottom. Click to access.
