As we have mentioned before, the Lofstedt review found that a grand total of 13 regulations could be removed to reduce “the burden of health and safety on employers.” So, I’m sure that you’re all overjoyed that the Health and Safety (Miscellaneous Repeals, Revocations and Amendments) Regulations 2013 came into force on 6 April, repealing the following:
- Celluloid and Cinematograph Film Act 1922
- Gasholders (Record of Examinations) Order 1938
- Shipbuilding and Ship-repairing Regulations 1960
- Celluloid and Cinematograph Film Act 1922 (Repeals and Modifications) Regulations 1974
- Celluloid and Cinematograph Film Act 1922 (Exemptions) Regulations 1980
- Gasholders and Steam Boilers (Metrication) Regulations 1981
- Locomotives etc Regulations 1906 (Metrication) Regulations 1981
- Notification of Installations Handling Hazardous Substances Regulations 1982
- Docks, Shipbuilding etc (Metrication) Regulations 1983
- Construction (Head Protection) Regulations 1989
- Notification of Installations Handling Hazardous Substances (Amendment) Regulations 2002
- Notification of Conventional Tower Cranes Regulations 2010
- Notification of Conventional Tower Cranes (Amendment) Regulations 2010
Note that repealing the Construction (Head Protection) Regulations doesn't mean that head protection is no longer necessary, just that it is covered under the more comprehensive Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992.
