Changes to H&S Legislation

10/30/2013

 
October 2013 witnessed a  number of changes to health and safety legislation, including 
modifications to two pieces of legislation which affect the majority of businesses in the UK - RIDDOR Regulations and the First Aid at Work  Regulations.

As of 1 October, the Health  and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 have been amended to remove the  requirement for the HSE to approve first aid training and qualifications.  The change is part of HSE's  work to reduce the burden on businesses and put common sense back in to  health and safety, while maintaining standards and the new approach  applies to businesses of all sizes and from all sectors.

The main changes to the RIDDOR  Regulations surround the lists of major injuries,  occupational diseases  and dangerous occurrences, with all of these being simplified and  reduced.

Are  you aware of the upcoming  changes to waste legislation? From January 2014, all  businesses  transporting their own waste must register as a Waste Carrier, which is  being introduced to ensure that all waste is transported and disposed of  legally and safely.

Keep up to date with legislative changes - it could keep on the right side of the law!
