Legislation

Legislation is an important driver for health and safety, and sets out the key priority areas for industry to work on. Changes are expected with regard to legislation that directly impacts upon the construction industry. Driven partly by Europe and partly by the Health and Safety Commission's desire to make some existing legislation more effective, several new sets of regulations and a Regulatory Reform Order will be introduced during 2005 and 2006.
