The Health and Safety (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018:

Dear Colleagues,

Further to LTBs 475/16 and 151/18, the Government has laid before the Houses of Parliament a statutory instrument to amend regulations in relation to health and safety legislation under the Withdrawal Act following Brexit.

These regulations ensure that EU-derived health and safety legislation and protections will continue to be available in domestic law after the UK has left the EU.

It does not seem to have any deregulatory measures, but if any Rep has any concerns over any aspect, please let me know.

A copy of the Bill is attached.

Yours sincerely

Dave Joyce
National Health, Safety & Environment Officer
