Using the guide
The Guide can be used in one of two ways, as a web page or as a PDF document (Look for the 
logo).
On the website, a table format is used for ease of reading:
- the left hand section of the page acts as a contents table, with links to different subjects
- the middle section of each page presents the information on each subject area
- the right hand section has relevant pictures and links to other related information.
The Guide has a simple “point and click” format. Whenever you click on a link in the contents table, the relevant subject will open.
Hyperlink text links also provide links to other relevant parts of the guide.
There is a search engine which can be used to find specific topics in the guide that you may be interested in.
External links, e.g. to Government websites, will open the relevant website if you are connected to the internet. Links to external website and downloadable documents will open in a new window so you can easily return to the previous page.
Finally, there are a number of acronyms throughout this Guide. The first time an acronym is used in each Chapter a full explanation is provided – the acronym is then referred to thereafter. A comprehensive list of all acronyms used in the Guide is provided here. (this page opens in a new window to act as a handy guide).
The information in this guide has been carefully researched. However If you find any errors or omissions, or any non functioning links please let us know on amends@hazguide.co.uk.
