What is an Act?
An act outlines your broad responsibilities. The law is made by parliament and is often referred to as an Act of Parliament. Sometimes referred to as a statute or legislation. Acts are pieces of statutory legislation that have been passed by Parliament, which means that they are laws. Breaching an act creates liability enforceable in court.
What is a Regulation?
A regulation sets out specific requirements for particular hazards and risks, such as noise, machinery, manual handling etc.
What is a Guideline or Code of Practice?
A guideline or code of practice provides practical information on how you can meet the requirements of the Act and Regulations.
