Reduction of health & safety red tape welcomed by Stone Federation

摘要

Stone Federation has welcomed the publication of the Lofstedt Review into health & safety legislation that presages the swift removal of some of the red tape surrounding health &. safety regulations.The report recommends health & safety law should not apply to self-employed people whose work activity poses no potential risk of harm to others. It also says employers should not be held responsible for damages when they have done all they can to manage risks.The Government feels the current raft of around 200 health & safety regulations are a brake on employment and industrial enterprise.
