book icon MHS-help files I have been asked by the students (gamekeeping, greenkeeping, farming, business studies, catering, engineering, small animal care, art, etc) to make available the health & safety material on-line so that they can access it from anywhere in the world. The helpfiles are obviously based on the requirements of the clubhouse, greenkeeping facility and workshop but could be applied to almost any small business
