RoSPA Submission to the Löfstedt Review of Health and Safety Legislation
Independent review of health and safety legislation – call for evidence
The Department for Work and Pensions’ Minister for Employment, the Rt Hon Chris Grayling, has asked Professor Löfstedt to chair an independent review of health and safety legislation, supported by an advisory panel of cross-party politicians, employer representatives and employee representatives.
The review is considering the opportunities for reducing the burden of health and safety legislation on UK businesses while maintaining the progress made in improving health and safety outcomes. In particular it will consider the scope for combining, simplifying or reducing the – approximately 200 – statutory instruments owned by HSE and primarily enforced by HSE and Local Authorities, and the associated Approved Codes of Practice (ACoP) which provide advice, with special legal status, on compliance with health and safety law.
