Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Noise at Work Regulations 1989 so that they now apply outside Great Britain as the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 applies, as well as applying in Great Britain.
The Regulations revoke regulations 11 and 17 (electrical equipment) of the Offshore Installations (Operational Safety, Health and Welfare) Regulations 1976 and certain definitions in regulation 1(2) of those Regulations which are redundant by reason of the revocation effected by this or earlier instruments. They also revoke reference to noise in paragraph 67 (noise and vibration of plant) of Schedule 1 to the Offshore Installations and Wells (Design and Construction, etc.) Regulations 1996.
A cost benefit assessment prepared in respect of these Regulations is available from the Health and Safety Executive, Safety Policy Directorate, Offshore Policy Section, Rose Court, 2 Southwark Bridge, London SE1 9HS.
