INTRODUCTION - EU H&S COMPLIANCE
The health and safety legislation enforced in the UK is based on numerous an Directives
covering health and safety and product safety and these EU Directives are common
across all European Union members.
Each country may interpret the Directive differently, especially in respect of
administration, but fundamentally, the basic principles of health and safety remain
consistent across all countries.
Risk Assessment is the core standard to ensure that health and safety requirements are
met and all users of JetChill equipment will be expected to carry out appropriate risk
assessments.
In addition, training of those using the equipment is vital to ensure safety and all users
must instigate suitable training programmes as outlined in this manual. JetChill does not
guarantee that every specific health and safety law in every an country will be fully
addressed when following the procedures laid down in this manual but they believe that
suitable and sufficient health and safety procedures will have been implemented which
will protect users and customers alike from unnecessary risks.
The disclaimer which applies to the use of the equipment in the UK therefore applies to
the use of the equipment in.
