THE INFORMATION OFFICE
Every business
needs a wide range of up to date information at its fingertips to cope with
Industrial Relations, Health & Safety, Money, Local Government, the Law, and
basic product enquiries. The Federation provides a free Information service,
with an advice line and a comprehensive list of fact sheets. These Factsheets
are updated whenever any of the details change so we would suggest that orders
are placed as and when needed, rather than calling off sheets in bulk - the
rate of change in legislation rapidly makes these documents out of date.
