Four Key Elements of NetRegs

The NetRegs web site is made up of four key elements:
Guidance by Environmental Topic
Environmental Topics are relevant to most businesses and will:
- Help you identify key environmental legislation that will apply to the different aspects of your business from effective waste management to implementing an Environmental Management System
- Offer practical tips to help you comply with any legislation identified
Guidance by Business Type
Business Types are tailored to provide specific guidance on environmental protection legislation applicable to the processes in each business sector.
These guidelines not only provide businesses with practical measures to keep their business compliant with the law but also good practice advice on measures to reduce the risk of harm on the environment.
Legislation
The Legislation section supplements NetRegs guidance by listing under subject area the key pieces of environmental legislation relevant to businesses. It also includes summaries of what is likely to come into force in the future allowing businesses to prepare in advance and continue to remain compliant with the law.
Useful Links
NetRegs is the first step to help businesses understand their environmental obligations. Additionally, we provide useful links to application forms and guidance, information sources for further advice from groups such as Business Support, Government, Regulators and Trade Associations.
