Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds 2008 - 5th edition
Department for Culture, Media and Sport

ISBN-13:9780117020740
Size: A4
Binding:Paperback
Pagination:232pp
Replaces previous edition ISBN:9780113000951

Written by the Football Licensing Authority, this Guide provides detailed guidance to ground management design in respect to increasing safety at sports grounds and stadiums.

Written in reference to both management and design of grounds, it is of great use to technical specialists such as architects and engineers, as well as all relevant authorities who oversee safety in sports grounds and assess how many spectators can be safely accommodated within a sports ground. It also provides guidance on measures intended to improve safety at existing grounds, in terms of both their design and safety management.

In this Guide greater emphasis is given to the responsibility of management to undertake its own risk assessments and it points out that the safety of spectators with disabilities should not be considered in isolation of all other spectators. Therefore the material from the chapter “Spectator accommodation – disabilities” in the previous edition has been integrated into the relevant subject chapters.

Key Features:

Includes diagrams and flow charts for further learning
Concise and clear layout
Illustrated throughout

Contents include:

Calculating the safe capacity of a sports ground
Management – responsibility and planning for safety
Management – stewarding
Management – structures, installations and components
Circulation – general
Circulation – ingress
Circulation – vertical circulation
Circulation – concourses and vomitories
Circulation – egress and emergency evacuation
Barriers
Spectator accommodation – seating
Spectator accommodation – standing
Spectator accommodation – temporary demountable structures
Fire safety
Communications
Electrical and mechanical services
Medical and first aid provision for spectators
Media provision

Of particular interest to construction firms, architects, engineers, sports grounds managers, local authorities and health and safety managers.

Fire and Rescue Manual - Incident Command 3rd Edition
HM Government

Incident command systems are vital for managing risk within fire brigades. This new and updated edition of 'Incident Command: Fire and Rescue Service Manual - Volume 2: Fire Service Operations' develops the subject, particularly in the area of dynamic risk assessment and command competence.

This guide details the doctrine of the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) in the context of operational incident management, leadership, and the functional command and control processes that flow from it.

This new edition of the manual also reflects the need for Fire and Rescue Services to be able to work effectively within a broader multi-agency incident management framework. Further to recent legislation this publication offers guidance in respect to the increasingly broad role of Fire and Rescue Services in incidents other than fire. This role is then considered in relation to the capacities, objectives, and constraints of other responding agencies.

Essential reading for Fire Brigade Service managers and those involved in incident response across all of the emergency services.

Topics covered include:

Chapter 1 – Fire and Rescue Service Incident Command Doctrine
Chapter 2 – Organisation on the Incident Ground
Chapter 3 – Command within the UK Resilience Framework
Chapter 4 – Incident Risk Management
Chapter 5 – Command Competence
Also contains specific response arrangements for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Aimed at Incident Commanders, Fire Service Managers, and all of those involved in incident response and emergency services management.

Financial regulation and implementing rules applicable to the general budget of the European Communities
Synoptic presentation

And a selection of legal texts relevant to establishing and implementing the budget.

Cat. No: KV-76-06-029-EN-C
ISBN: 9789279019783
Pagination:405 pages
Dimensions: 15 × 21 cm
Published:2008

Designed for practical use, this compendium contains the main legal texts which set out the regulatory framework for the management of EU funds, in particular the Financial Regulation and its implementing rules.

The Financial Regulation is the European Union's pivotal point of reference for the principles and procedures governing the establishment and implementation of the EU budget and the control of the European Communities'finances.

The implementing rules contain detailed and more technical rules, essential for the day to day application of the Financial Regulation.

To help the reader, these rules are presented here synoptically, i.e. alongside the Financial Regulation articles they refer to.

A review of the financial rules is required at least every three years. This book presents the reviewed Financial Regulation, as amended by the Council in December 2006, and applicable, for most of its provisions, as of May
2007.

The new rules provide for the simplification of some unnecessarily cumbersome procedures, improve accountability and financial control and increase the transparency of EU spending.These are crucial elements in the development of a modern, efficient financial management system.

For a more complete picture, the reader will also find, in the second part of this book,excerpts from a selection of legal texts which relate to EU financial management. These include selected provisions of the founding treaties,
the own resources decisions, and, last but not least, the interinstitutional agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management a document which formalises the multiannual financial framework for the period 2007-13 and the rules for its management in relation to the annual budgetary procedure.

Department of Health

ISBN-13: 9780113228096
Size: 238 x 173 mm
Binding: Paperback
Pagination :376pp

This indispensable and comprehensive Code of Practice is a vital reference tool for all of those dealing with, and caring for people admitted to hospital and care homes with mental health problems. Authored by the Department of Health and produced following wide consultation with those who provide and receive services under the Mental Health Act, this publication will come into force in November 2008.

Through the Mental Health Act 2007, the Government has updated the 1983 Act to ensure it keeps pace with the changes in the way that mental health services are – and need to be – delivered. Therefore this up-to-date publication provides guidance and advice to registered medical practitioners, approved clinicians, managers and staff of hospitals, and approved mental health professionals on how they should proceed when undertaking duties under the Act. It also gives guidance to doctors and other professionals about certain aspects of medical treatment for mental disorder more generally.

The Mental Health Act Code of Practice will prove to be essential reading for all of those working in primary care, Mental Health Trusts, NHS Foundation Trusts as well as solicitors and attorneys who advise on mental health law. The Code should also be beneficial to the police and ambulance services and others in health and social services (including the independent and voluntary sectors) involved in providing services to people who are, or may become, subject to compulsory measures under the Act. It will also be a crucial guide for those working with people with specific mental health needs such as those in nursing and care homes, and those in prison.

Key Features:

Fully updated and in line with the 2007 Act
Comprehensive and concise
Presented in a compact and practical size, for ease of use
Contains scenarios which are intended to illustrate the way in which the guiding principles set out in chapter 1 might be applied to decisions made which people have to take under the Act.
To guide readers to more detailed information and explanation, references are given in the margins of the Code to relevant legislation and to other reference material.

Published:2008

Smoked, eaten, imbibed — or just talked about — it seems the world has a strong taste for cannabis. An estimated one in five European adults has tried it at some time in their lives. Over 13 million Europeans have consumed it in the past month. Globally, nearly 50 000 tonnes of cannabis herb or resin are produced for consumption every year. Little wonder, then, that cannabis has become a controversial cultural phenomenon.

Through short, sharp insights on a range of cannabis topics, this book is a shortcut for those entering the area for the first time, as well as a synthesis for the more seasoned expert.

Aimed at policymakers, sociologists, historians, journalists and those involved in enforcement, this Volume 1 deals with the history of cannabis; events in the United Kingdom in the 1960s and 1970s; recent cannabis developments in the EU’s newer Member States; policy shifts in governmental approaches to cannabis; the cannabis resin trade linking Morocco to Northern Europe; and information on how coffee shops developed in the Netherlands. While some of these articles focus only on smaller pieces of the cannabis puzzle, they provide insights into the many different ways Europe has dealt with cannabis to date.

Centred on drug professionals working in the fields of treatment, prevention and healthcare, Volume 2 assesses the impact of cannabis use on health, from an individual perspective and public health perspective; descriptions of contemporary European patterns of cannabis use, from a general population perspective and in terms of adolescent use; and descriptions of treatment demand for cannabis use disorders in Europe. Case-study articles look at the way in which cannabis users perceive their use in Finland; the rise in cannabis treatment demand in Germany and the specific effects of cannabis use on driving.

In Volume 1 we can read an autobiographical article on events in the United Kingdom in the late 1960s, recent cannabis developments in the EU's new Member States, the cannabis resin trade linking Morocco to northern Europe, the closure of Pusher Street in the Copenhagen commune of Christiania, and information on how coffee shops developed in the Netherlands. While these articles focus only on smaller pieces of the cannabis puzzle, they provide insights into the many different ways Europe has dealt with cannabis.

The Methodology used for this report includes:

a brief representative European-wide survey, to obtain the relevant information from all EU countries regarding policies and practices in the EU-25, at the sector, local, national, and supranational level

research on the prevention of risks in the Horeca sector, outlined in accessible sources such as reports, factsheets, surveys, articles, and gUides

Selection and description of EU-25 actions in the workplace to prevent harm to workers in the sector. A range of cases have been considered from across the EU, showing the various factors relating to the revention of risks to workers in the sector, with success factors identified and conclusions drawn from them.

The hotel, restaurant and catering (HORECA) sector covers a wide range of different businesses including hotels, pubs and restaurants, contract caterers in various industrial and commercial premises, fast-food takeaways, cafes and bistros.

The hotels, restaurants and catering sector employs more than 7.8 million people in the EU and is characterised by high job demands (in particular due to direct contacts with clients) and high physical workload. Non-permanent employment patterns, in particular seasonal work, are prevalent. The sector also employs a high proportion of female workers, young workers and migrant workers.

This sector covers a wide range of workplaces, more than just hotels and restaurants.
Many persons are employed in catering in other workplaces such as schools and hospitals.

Taxation trends in the European Union 2008 Edition
Data for the EU Member States and Norway

Cat. No: KS-DU-08-001-EN-C
ISBN: 9789279084003
Pagination:440 pages

Published:2008

This is the second issue of 'Taxation Trends in the European Union', an expanded and improved version of a previous annual publication, 'Structures of the taxation systems in the European Union'. The objective of the report remains unchanged: to present a complete view of the structure, level and trends of taxation in the Union over a medium- to long-term period.

Taxation trends in the European Union 2008 contains a detailed statistical and economic analysis of the tax systems of the Member States of the European Union and Norway. The data are presented within a unified statistical framework (the ESA95 harmonised system of national and regional accounts), which makes it possible to assess the heterogeneous national tax systems on a fully comparable basis.
Taxation is at the heart of citizens' relationship with the State. In our contacts with the general public, we regularly receive questions about taxation levels in the EU and on how Member States compare with each other. We trust that the statistics contained in this report provide a useful and unbiased reference in the debate on taxation in Europe; much effort has been devoted to making sure that the ratios published here are computed on the basis of a methodology allowing full cross-country comparability.

This methodology has been developed jointly by statisticians from Eurostat and economists from the Directorate-General for Taxation and the Customs Union, who have drafted the report.

They were supported in this task by the national Statistical Offices and the Ministries of Finance of all countries covered.

This report contains a detailed statistical and economic analysis of the tax systems of the Member States of the European Union and Norway. The data are presented within a unified statistical framework (the ESA95 harmonised system of national and regional accounts), which makes it possible to assess the heterogeneous national tax systems on a fully comparable basis.

The standard classifications of tax revenues (by major type of tax or by level of government) presented in most international tax revenue statistics are hard to interpret in economic terms. This publication stands out for offering a breakdown of tax revenues by economic function (i.e. according to whether they are raised on consumption, labour or capital). This classification is based on disaggregated tax data and on a breakdown of the revenue from the personal income tax. In addition, the report contains indicators of the average effective tax burden on consumption, labour and capital. Country chapters give an overview of the tax system in each of the 28 countries covered, the revenue trends and the main recent policy changes. Detailed tables allow comparison between the individual countries and European averages. Data cover the 1995-2006 period and are presented both as a percentage of GDP and as a percentage of total taxation.

IEE On-Site Guide BS 7671:2008

ISBN-13: 9780863418549
ISBN-10: 0863418546
Spiral-bound: 183 pages
Publisher: The Institution of Engineering and Technology(IET)
Date Published: September 2008
Language English

The On-Site Guide is one of a number of publications prepared by the lET to provide guidance on certain aspects of BS 7671 :2008 Requirements for Electrical Installations (lEE Wiring Regulations, 17th Edition).

BS 7671 is a joint publication of the British Standards Institution and the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

The scope generally follows that of BS 7671. It includes material not included in BS 7671, provides background to the intentions of BS 7671 and gives other sources of information. However, this guide does not ensure compliance with BS 7671. It is a simple guide to the requirements of BS 7671, and electricians and electrical installers should always consult BS 7671 to satisfy themselves of compliance.

It is expected that persons carrying out work in accordance with this guide will be competent to do so.
Electrical installations in the United Kingdom which comply with the lEE Wiring Regulations, BS 7671, should also comply with all relevant Statutory Regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, the Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations 2002 and the Building Regulations, in particular Part P. It cannot be guaranteed that BS 7671 complies with all relevant Regulations and it is stressed that it is essential to establish what statutory and other Regulations apply and to install accordingly. For example, an installation in Licensed Premises may have requirements different from or additional to BS 7671 and these will take recedence over BS 7671.

This Guide is concerned with limited application of BS 7671 in accordance with Part 1 paragraph 1.1: Scope.
BS 7671 and the On-Site Guide are not design guides. It is essential to prepare a schedule of the work to be done prior to commencement or alteration of an electrical installation and to provide all necessary information and operating instructions of any equipment supplied to the user on completion.

Any specification should set out the detailed design and provide sufficient information to enable competent persons to carry out the installation and to commission it.

The specification must provide for all the commissioning procedures that will be required and for the production of any operational manual.

The persons or organisations who may be concerned in the preparation of the specification include:

The Designer(s)
The Installer(s)
The Electricity Distributor
The Installation Owner and/or User
The Architect
The Local Building Control Authority
The Fire Prevention Officer
The COM Coordinator (the Planning Supervisor)
All Regulatory Authorities
Any Licensing Authority
The Health and Safety Executive.

In producing the specification, advice should be sought from the installation owner and/or user as to the intended use. Often, such as in a speculative building, the detailed intended use is unknown. In those circumstances the specification and/or the operational manual must set out the basis of use for which the nstallation is suitable.

Precise details of each item of equipment should be obtained from the manufacturer and/or supplier and compliance with appropriate standards confirmed.
