HSE revises fee-for-fault rate and disputes procedure

摘要

THE HSE has backtracked on proposals to rule internally on disputed charges under its planned cost recovery scheme and announced a reduction in the hourly rate inspectors will charge for their time. In a paper accepted by the HSE board at its December meeting, the executive proposed the second and final appeal stage for dutyholders who dispute the level of "fee for intervention" for notices and remedial letters will involve an independent adjudicator drawn from business as well as representatives of the executive.
