Construction legal register — starter structure

The column structure and seed instruments for a maintained legal register. The platform version links each instrument to the documents that serve it.

  1. Columns: instrument · what it requires of us · activities it touches · owner · evidence of compliance · last evaluated · next review.
  2. Seed instruments: HSWA 1974 · CDM 2015 · MHSWR 1999 · WAHR 2005 · PUWER 1998 · LOLER 1998 · COSHH 2002 · CAR 2012 · RIDDOR 2013.
  3. Environmental: EPA 1990 · EPR 2016 · waste duty of care · local consents.
  4. Information: UK GDPR · DPA 2018.
  5. Rule: every instrument has an owner and a next-review date — a register nobody owns is decoration.
  6. Rule: evaluation means evidence was examined, not that the row was re-read.
  7. Rule: changes in law feed the register through a named monitoring route.
