EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Provision and Use of Work Equipment) Regulations 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”). The 2006 Regulations, including the provisions amended by these Regulations, implement the United Kingdom’s obligations under Council Directive 89/655/EEC (OJ L393, 30.12.89, p 13) as amended by Council Directive 95/63/EC (OJ L335, 30.12.95, p 28) concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for the use of work equipment by workers at work (second individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC). Regulation 2(1) substitutes a new version of regulation 6(1) into the 2006 Regulations to clarify the conditions that work equipment must satisfy in order for it to be made available to workers on the ship. Regulation 2(2) removes from the Schedule to the 2006 Regulations four entries that were included in error. Accordingly, these Regulations are being issued free of charge to all known recipients of the 2006 Regulations.
The Regulations are made under the powers in the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 except in respect of their application to Government ships where the power is provided by section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972.
An Impact Assessment has not been produced as the purpose of this instrument is to bring the impact of the 2006 Regulations into line with that anticipated on the making of those Regulations, for which a regulatory impact assessment was produced.
