In independent review of health and safety law in the UK commissioned by HSE in March 2011 has been released.
The aim of the report was to identify areas of unnecessary regulation which could be removed while focusing on higher risks in the workplace. Judith Hackett, Chair of HSE has said, “Simplifying and streamlining the stock of regulations, focusing enforcement on higher risk businesses, clarifying requirements, and rebalancing the civil litigation system – these are all practical, positive steps.”
