  • CRR 446/2002 a Study of the Provision of Health and Safety Information in the Annual Reports of the Top UK Companies
    HSE Health & Safety Executive A study of the provision of health and safety information in the annual reports of the top UK companies Prepared by System Concepts Ltd for the Health and Safety Executive CONTRACT RESEARCH REPORT 446/2002 HSE Health & Safety Executive A study of the provision of health and safety information in the annual reports of the top UK companies Laura Peebles, Ansgar Kupper and Tanya Heasman System Concepts Ltd 2 Savoy Court Strand London WC2R 0EZ This report details the findings of a research project to investigate the quality and quantity of health and safety information found in the annual reports of the top UK companies. At present, publicly listed companies are not legally required to include health and safety matters in their annual reports. The current Health and Safety Commission (HSC) Strategy Statement, however, contains an action point which focuses on public reporting of health and safety issues by larger companies. The aim is to promote the reporting of health and safety information in company annual reports and to provide guidance that would allow reporting of such information to a common standard. To assist the HSC with this strategy, System Concepts were commissioned by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to undertake an investigation of the provision of health and safety information in company annual reports. The study comprised a series of steps. The main objectives of the study were: i) To determine the current level of reporting of health and safety issues in annual reports of the top UK companies ii) To determine the quality of health and safety information reported.

ADDRESS Land South West Of Hermitage Lane/Oakapple Lane, Barming, Maidstone SUMMARY OF REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION – (APPROVE SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS) The principle of 80 houses has been accepted at the site under the outline permission and the site forms part of the wider housing allocation for 330 houses in the Local Plan under policy H1(3). The proposals comply with the relevant criterion under policy H1(3), other relevant policies within the Local Plan, and parameters of the outline permission.

  • APTG Guidelines
    UNITE THE UNION FOR YOU GUIDELINESGUIDELINES ROCK AND ROLL MEMORIES KLAUS TELLS ALL. Beatle - and newly qualified blue badge - guide Rick Jones meets Klaus Voormann. In August I attended a conference given by eighty-year-old Klaus Voormann, who had lived in Green Street, Mayfair with George and Ringo of the Beatles in the 1960s. He replaced John and Paul who had just moved out to be with their partners. I do not know how many guides include Green Street but it is just across Grosvenor Square from Jimi Hendrix’s flat in Brook Street. As artist and musician, Voormann designed the Revolver album cover and played bass for rival group Manfred Mann. He had met the Fab Four in his native city of Hamburg when they were playing in the red light district of the Reeperbahn in the early 60s. I asked if the Liverpudlians had influenced fashion in Hamburg. Voormann said rather Hamburg had in- fluenced the Beatles, who came as wide-eyed young men. ‘They were so young,’ he said. ‘George was only sixteen with these great sticking-out ears and singing “I’m Henery the Eighth I am!” The Beatles had an unbelievably wide repertoire.’ Voormann was in London to promote both his book, ‘Es Begann in Hamburg (It Began in Hamburg) and the City of Hamburg’s annual Reeperbahn Festival. His fascinating book is a autobiography in words and pictures, rich with anecdotes to keep your Beatles Tours lively. THE PIANO MAN Q.
