New Health and Safety Fees Regulations
The Health and Safety Fees Regulations 2007 (SI 2007/813) were published on 16th March and enter into effect on 6th April. The Regulations revoke the Health and Safety (Fees) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/336), and consolidate amendments and update fees charged.
Fees payable by the applicant to the HSE have in most cases been revised, for example for:
- Approval under mines and quarries legislation
- Approval of plant or equipment under Agriculture (Tractor Cabs) Regulations 1974
- Licence under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006
- Approval under Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981
