Surveys the raft of new health and safety regulations that will soon or have recently come into force and discuss the effects on property owners. Highlights the radical shift from legislative provisions requiring independent checks to ensure compliance to a system of self-assessment backed by independent enforcement. The sanctions for non-compliance vary according to the level of risk posed by potential breaches of the legislation. Outlines major changes relating to fire regulations, disability discrimination, hazardous waste, waste electronic and electrical equipment, the energy performance of buildings, Part L of the Building Regulations, construction design and management, and asbestos.
