Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Social Security (Industrial Injuries) (Prescribed Diseases) Regulations 1985 (the principal Regulations).
Regulation 2 amends regulation 4 of the principal Regulations, mainly by removing 20 specified diseases from the presumption that they are due to the nature of the specified employment.
Regulations 3 and 4 remove from regulations 7 and 8 of the principal Regulations an obsolete reference to a determination in the manner provided by Part IX of the Social Security (Adjudication) Regulations 1984 (S.I. 1984/451) which have been revoked.
Regulation 5 amends Part I of Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations which prescribes diseases for which industrial injuries benefit is payable. The amendment relates to prescribed diseases due to chemical agents; it removes references to seven diseases and changes the entries for other diseases.
Regulation 6 makes transitional provision so that the amendments both to the Schedule of prescribed diseases and to the presumption as to the cause of the disease, do not apply in respect of claims made, or treated as made, before these Regulations come into force.
These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
