to official reports and documents. A selection of relevant
websites are listed below:
The Health

with investigating accidents and disasters. Reports of inquiries
an accidents can be obtained by ordering through their website
at: www.hse.gov.uk.
A very
useful source of reviews of the safe design of specific products
and their role in accidents is available from the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI) at their website: www.dti.gov.uk.
All important
judgements and decisions from the High Court and higher courts
are freely available on the open government websites, especially
on the court service website at www.courtservice.gov.uk
which also provides court diaries, forms and case lists.
The Lord
Chancellor’s website provides much useful information on the
work of the department, such as managing the court system,
appointment of the judiciary, legal aid and reviews of legislation.
It can be found at www.lcd.gov.uk
and the site provides vital links to other government websites,
such as Parliament and the House of Lords, where the stages
of new legislation are listed, for example.
