JSP 375 - Health and Safety Handbook: Volume 2

Volume 2 covers basic arrangements to guide MOD staff in the delivery of Health and Safety policy and legislation, and is constructed in a leaflet format. Each leaflet covers a separate hazard or environment in which health and safety measures are required to protect employees and others.

Each leaflet guides MOD staff, on what is expected to be done to meet legislation, and in many cases the leaflet annexes supply guidance on how the duties can be achieved, or to assist in the creation of more specific local procedures.

JPS 375 is now a live document and will be updated on a rolling programme in line with changes in legislation or internal MOD Health and Safety policy.
