CD260 - Public consultation and associated communication activities to repeal or revoke twelve legislative measures

Corporate Risk Systems Limited (CRS) keeps you up-to-date with what is going on with regulatory changes.  This is especially important for those certified to OHSAS 18001, as you may need to update your registers of health and safety regulations.
Published this week, this consultative document (CD260) seeks views on the Health and Safety Executive’s proposals to remove twelve legislative measures (two Acts and ten Regulations) which HSE believes are either redundant or have been overtaken by more up to date legislation. It is proposed that the following legislation be removed:

• Factories Act 1961 (FA61)
• Offices, Shops & Railway Premises Act 1963 (OSRPA)
• Factories Act (Docks, Building and Engineering Construction, etc) Modification Regulations 1938
• Factories Act 1937 (Extension of Section 46) Regulations 1948
• Factories Act 1961 and Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963 (Repeals and Modifications) Regulations 2009
• Factories Act 1961 (Repeals) Regulations 1975
• Factories Act 1961 etc (Metrication) Regulations 1983
• Factories Act 1961 etc (Repeals and Modifications) Regulations 1974
• Factories Act 1961 etc (Repeals) Regulations 1976
• Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963 (Repeals and Modifications) Regulations 1974
