Before you apply a requirement This is a curated source directory, not an exhaustive legal register or legal advice. Confirm the authoritative language, current text, amendments, commencement, scope and local applicability. A law, a regulation, an approved code and a voluntary standard do not have the same legal status. Entries disclose whether a full text, translation, register or directory was accessible. Seek qualified local advice for a compliance decision.

Transparent by design Know what has been checked. Original sources Government and regulator publications are the starting point. A directory entry is explicitly distinguished from a reviewed legal text.
Review dates, not promises The source-check and next-review dates support editorial maintenance. An automatic build never re-certifies a law as current.
Professional judgement Use the references to ask better questions. Check the facts of the workplace before deciding what applies.
