STA Guidance Note Directory STA


The creation of industry specifi c guidance notes has always been a key part of the STA’s aim and objectives. Since the formation of the Association the STA has provided practical guidance for members on the management of risks to health and safety that may arise in relation to specifi c hazards within our industry. The guidance doesn’t stop there, the association also produces guidance notes on Quality and Technical issues enabling members to have the information and knowledge they require to assist them to provide the highest quality of service.


The 3 tables below list the current guidance notes the STA have produced. These guidance notes are available for members to download from the members area of the STA website www.s-t-a.org
