Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Social Security (Industrial Injuries) (Prescribed Diseases) Regulations 1985, which prescribe diseases for which industrial injuries benefit is payable.
Regulation 2 makes amendment in respect of concurrent employment in two or more occupations in relation to occupational deafness and deletes, with consequential changes, obsolete exceptions which relate to claims in respect of occupational deafness made before 3rd October 1984.
Regulation 3 amends Part I of Schedule 1 to the 1985 Regulations by adding osteoarthritis of the hip, Lyme disease and anaphylaxis to the list of prescribed diseases and adding to the description of allergic rhinitis and asthma. It also makes changes to the description of the occupations in relation to which anthrax, ankylostomiasis and hepatitis are prescribed diseases.
Regulation 4 makes transitional provision, so that the amendments to Schedule 1 do not apply to claims made before these Regulations come into force.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
