Storage and handling solutions specialist Dexion has launched a free advisory booklet to help companies achieve the most from their information management system. Efficient Record and Document Management tells companies how long different types of documents should be stored as well as the implications of the Data Protection and Health and Safety at Work Acts. By law, COSHH-related medical records have to be stored for 40 years and memorandum and articles of association documents must be kept permanently. The guide stresses the importance of setting up a sound document retention policy that sets out a systematic and planned approach to record management so that information is structured and accessible. It also includes a number of mini case studies that show how Dexion customers such as Lloyds Bank Registrars and Britannia Airways have made the best of their information management.
