Legislation Compliance
Reliable, Efficient and Operationally Focused
Achieve and Maintain Compliance with ISO Standards and UK Legislation
Meeting the compliance obligations of ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management) requires more than a checkbox approach—it demands a strategic, informed, and proactive compliance framework.
A well-maintained legal register is a vital tool that enables your organisation to identify and manage its legal and other compliance obligations.
It supports not only ISO certification, but also day-to-day alignment with UK environmental legislation and health and safety laws, including the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Environmental Protection Act 1990, and related sector-specific regulations.
Our service begins with a detailed assessment of your organisation’s operations, identifying key environmental impacts and health and safety risks.
This forms the foundation for a bespoke legal register tailored to your business activities, risk profile, and regulatory requirements.
To ensure long-term compliance and continuous improvement, we offer ongoing support, including quarterly compliance reviews, updates for legislative changes, and practical guidance—helping your business stay current, compliant, and audit-ready!
Our approach is especially beneficial to high-risk sectors such as manufacturing or a business handling hazardous materials. We help you stay on top of legal changes, avoid non-compliance penalties, and support your journey toward ISO certification and sustainable operational excellence.
Stay Compliant with UK Legislation
Legislation varies by business sector, and maintaining a comprehensive legal register is essential for ensuring compliance with applicable UK laws and regulations.
This is particularly important for organisations working toward or maintaining certifications such as ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management), where understanding and fulfilling legal obligations is a key requirement.
While ISO standards may not explicitly mandate the term "legal register," they do require organisations to identify, access, and keep up to date with relevant compliance obligations—a function that a legal register effectively supports.
FAQ
Do I have to maintain a Quality Manual for ISO?
There is no requirement to include a Quality Manual in your management system.
The standard does state a requirement for Documented Information to be included within your management systems, which has to be made available and kept as evidence of a robust management system.
Can I integrate more than one ISO Management System?
Of course!
We can help you integrate ISO management systems with each other to reduce file duplications and save time.
What is a 3rd party audit?
A 3rd party audit is an independent assessment conducted by an external certification body to verify a company’s compliance with ISO standards.
It ensures the organisation meets standard requirements and can lead to official ISO certification.
MH ISO can support your business with your chosen 3rd party certification body, to ensure your business is audit ready!
