The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is committed to helping business and other stakeholders adapt to changes in occupational health and safety law and practice. In February 2005, HSE decided to implement changes that arise from within the UK on only two dates each year. The HSE have extended this to legislation arising from Europe, wherever it is in our control to do so. This statement lists the regulations that are due to commence on 1 October 2009 and the 6 April 2010. The HSE will update it every 6 months, covering a rolling 12-month period.
The two 'Common Commencement Dates' are:
6 April (the start of the tax year); and
1 October
By harmonising commencement dates the HSE hope that those affected (ie businesses, employee representatives and individuals) will be more aware of forthcoming changes and better able to plan for and implement new measures effectively.
