Source register
Every factual claim on this desk traces to a source on this register. Entries carry three kinds of date, kept deliberately distinct: a published date where the publisher states one, an updated date where the source page shows its own last-updated mark, and an accessed date — when this desk’s local research snapshot of the page was retrieved. Content on the desk is paraphrased from these documents, never copied at length, and the originals outrank every paraphrase.
Order of authority: HSE regulator guidance is listed first and cited first wherever it and any other source cover the same ground. External links open the publishers’ own pages; their content remains their property and may change after the accessed date shown.

Register policy
NO SOURCE · NO CLAIM- A claim that cannot be traced to a register entry, a stated formula or a figure you entered does not appear on this desk.
- In-page citations ([S1], [S2]…) number the sources per page, in that page’s register order; the IDs above are the stable desk-wide names.
- Where a source page changes after its accessed date, the publisher’s live page wins; the desk’s revision policy for catching up is on the methodology sheet.
- No source on this register is a commercial partner of this site, and no entry is sponsored. This desk carries no commercial links.
