The HSE has launched a consultation on the first pieces of regulation it plans to cut following the publication of the Löfstedt review.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is proposing to revoke seven Statutory Instruments (SIs) -six Regulations and one Order -that have been identified as being redundant or that have been overtaken by more up to date Regulations.
The following proposed cuts are the first step towards reducing health & safety legislation by half over the next two years.
1. Anthrax Prevention Order 1971 etc (Revocation) Regulations 2005.
2. Employment Medical Advisory Service (Factories Act Orders etc Amendment) Order 1973
3. Health and Safety (Foundries etc) (Metrication) Regulations 1981
4. Non-ferrous Metals (Melting and Founding) Regulations 1962
5. Pottery (Health and Welfare) Special Regulations 1950
6. Pottery (Health etc) (Metrication) Regulations 1982
7. Regulations for use of locomotives and waggons on lines and sidings in or used in connection with premises under the Factory and Workshop Act 1901 (1906) (1906 No.679)
An outline of each set of Regulations and the order that the HSE proposes to revoke them is provided in the consultation document with an explanation of why they are no longer required.
The consultation ends on 12 March 2012.
