Made 8th December 2014
Laid before Parliament 16th December 2014
Coming into force 6th April 2015
The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 15(1), (2), (3)(a), (4)(a), (5), and (8), 18(2)(za) and (a), 80(1) and 82(3)(a) of, and paragraphs 1(1) and (2), 3, 6(1), 8, 9, 10, 11, 13(1) and (3), 14, 16, 18(a), 20, and 21(a) and (b) of Schedule 3 to, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (“the 1974 Act”).
These Regulations, apart from the modifications referred to in the next paragraph, give effect without modifications to proposals submitted by the Health and Safety Executive under section 11(3) of the 1974 Act after carrying out consultation in accordance with section 50(3) of that Act.
It appears to the Secretary of State that the following are expedient as set out in section 80(1) of the 1974 Act—
(a) the repeals referred to in Part 2 of Schedule 3;
(b) the partial revocations to the Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 1996 and the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 in Part 2 of Schedule 4; and
(c) the modifications referred to in paragraphs 3, 15 and 17 of Schedule 5.
It also appears to the Secretary of State not to be appropriate to consult bodies in respect of those repeals, revocations and modifications in accordance with section 80(4) of the 1974 Act.
