ENVIRONMENTAL CODE OF PRACTICE
Environmental Legislation
An essential first step in good environmental management is to
identify the legislation applicable to your business. This section
aims to identify the main pieces of legislation that could affect
your businesses. A further useful resource developed by the joint
environmental agencies providing up to date information on
environmental legislation affecting small businesses is called
NETREGS.
This section gives guidance on the general environmental
legislation, which is applicable to the daily operations of marine
businesses in the UK. This is not an exhaustive list but covers
what is most relevant and is intended as a guide to
legislation.
Copies of the legislation can be obtained from the Office of Public Sector Information
(OPSI) however this guidance will provide links to the
specific legislation under each section.
