As part of the service AvISO Consultancy offers, we provide our clients with quarterly updates on any changes to legal compliance. By doing this, we keep our clients up to date with any changes in their legal compliance obligations.
The main legal texts published between 1st July 2023 and 30th September 2023 are listed below, separated by main areas of work: Quality, Environment and Health & Safety.
The legal texts identified in this article do not represent all the legislation published in relation to these 3 topics. AvISO Consultancy selects the legislation which it believes will apply to the Companies with which it works. In addition, AvISO Consultancy does not take responsibility for the accuracy of any information provided and would recommend that you take appropriate legal advice in relation to any new legislation which might apply to your business, as appropriate.
This article does not replace each organisation’s duty to know the legal requirements applicable to their activity.
