The Department for Work and Pensions has published a report on the progress of health and safety reforms recommended by Lord Young in October 2010.
The following are examples of steps already taken
- In response to the call for risk assessments to be simplified for low hazard workplaces, the HSE has set up on its website four risk assessment tools for low hazard premises – charity shops, offices, shops and classrooms and has published advice for voluntary organisations as well as further online tools and revised guidance
- The Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register (OSHCR) was launched on 21 March 2011- this lists only accredited health and safety consultants
- To help schools simplify the process for taking children on trips and to understand their duty of care, the Department of Education published revised advice on 2 July 2011
There are many other aspects of the current system which are under review or are the subject of consultations. The report can be found at –
