Other relevant legislation

The requirements to be met in the application and use of this equipment are laid down in the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 (PPER). 

The general assessment required by MHSWR should identify the hazards, the extent of the risks faced and enable the necessary preventive and precautionary measures to be decided. Where possible the protective precautions should be collective rather than personal. If personal protective equipment is considered appropriate, PPER sets out the steps to be taken in the process of selecting suitable and effective equipment which the employer has to provide to his employees. Training should be given in the correct use and maintenance of PPE and in the procedures for reporting damage and faults. 

Under the Construction (Head Protection) Regulations 1989 employers are required to provide, maintain and replace, as necessary, suitable head 

The principal contractor may make written rules concerning tire wearing of head protection by anyone, employees and others (with the exception of Sikhs wearing turbans), working on that site, and should make arrangements for enforcing those rules. Employees are required to take care of equipment and to report cases of damage, defect or loss. 

All machinery for use at work is now subject to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) with its requirements for guarding dangerous parts, controls and associated matters.

Other relevant legislation is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and the Ionising Radiation Regulations 1999. 

Other relevant legislation is the Act on Medicaments, Commercial Code and Civil Code. The State Institute for Drug Control (SUKL) issues instructions, clarification and interpretation of the legislation. 

Live biological agents should be handled in contained areas. The level of containment should depend on the pathogenicity of the microorganism and whether it has been dassified as exotic. (Other relevant legislation, such as Directives 90/219/EEC and 90/220/EEC, also applies). 

Legal considerations should include possible constraints from compliance with health and safety legislation, codes of practice, guidance notes and accepted standards, plus other relevant legislation concerning fire prevention, pollution, and product liability. 

To this end, the Board is determined to take every step necessary to discharge the duties laid down by the HSW Act, 1974, other relevant legislation and under common law. 

Those who provide work equipment for use of an employed person include those who hire, lease or rent equipment for construction work. Hirers need to ensure that the equipment meets the standards required by the Provision and Use of Equipment Regulations and other relevant legislation. The equipment must be properly maintained and provided with any in-date Statutory Examination Reports.

JSP 418, Safety, Health and Environmental Protection in the Ministry of Defence. A key element of the policy is that the MoD complies with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work, etc.. Act (1974) and other relevant legislation (see Section 3.6 below). The main purpose of the Health and Safety at Work, etc.. Act is to ensure that employers provide a safe working environment for their employees. In the case of the MoD, the latter includes both civilian and service personnel. 

For nonparenteral/ophthalmic use the plastics should meet the requirements of relevant EU food use legislation, and if the material has not been so approved then toxicology data will be required. If the container is to be used for ophthalmic or parenteral products then compliance with the relevant requirements of the Ph Eur or other relevant member state pharmacopeial requirements will be required or appropriate additional data provided. 

In this chapter we have pointed to some fundamental physical environmental factors that in our view are important to take into account in order to improve REACH (and likely other chemical legislations). We have also pointed to the potential of an increased use of mathematical population models to obtain more relevant data for environmental risk assessment. With increased knowledge about how various physical environmental factors (e.g. temperature, pH, salinity, 02) on one hand influence toxicity and on the other may be taken into account in the process of environmental risk assessment, chances will improve to achieve a process that is efficient, cost effective, scientifically robust, and meets the demands of science-based precaution. Environmental risk assessment within REACH would thus become a more diverse but at the same time more adequate process than the one presented in the current version. 

As the discussion above shows, the legislations of Australia and France do cover all relevant persons. This is accomplished by combining the provisions of CWC implementing legislation with general principles of law and other national legislation. 

Environment of the Baltic Sea (Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission) adopts appropriate legislative, administrative or other relevant measures to prevent and eliminate pollution in order to promote ecological restoration of the Baltic Sea area and preservation of its ecological balance. 

This does not mean, however, that technical accuracy should not be strived for in natural gas energy measurement. What it does mean is that, when the scienrilic community has imput in the formulation of proposed legislation and regulations, technical advise should be clear and unbiased. If this approach is followed, scientific accuracy could be fully considered and accounted for. The overall result should be that scientific accuracy and all other relevant considerations are properly balanced in laws and regulations. 

The Petroleum Act (and the other relevant acts) and the various regulations provide two types of such means of enforcement the administrative and the criminal sanctions. The imposition of sanctions is based on the positive provisions of the safety legislation combined with the general principles contained in administrative and criminal law. 

According to the Seveso Directive [1] Member States shall ensure that their land-use and/or other relevant policies and the procedures for implementing those policies take account of the need, in the long term, to maintain appropriate distances between establishments covered by this Directive and residential areas, areas of public use and areas of particular natural sensitivity or interest... . This is implemented in the German legislation in [2]. 

The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAWA) is an enabling Act from which most other relevant UK legislation stems. The Act lays down broad principles which are developed in detail in the form of Regulations or Approved Codes of Practice. The Act established the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) as an overseeing body representing employers, trade unions, local authorities and independents. The Act also created the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as the executive arm of the Commission. 

Council Directive 94/67/EC is aimed at providing measures and procedures to prevent or, where that is not practicable, to reduce as fast as possible negative effects on the environment, in particular the pollution of air, soil, surface and groundwater, and the resulting risks to human health, from the incineration of hazardous waste and, to that end, to set up and maintain appropriate operating conditions and emission limit values for hazardous waste incineration plants within the Community. This Directive applies without prejudice to other relevant Community Legislation, in particular relating to waste and the protection of the health and safety of workers at incineration plants. ...

In the event of partly applied harmonised standards, the technical documentation shall specify the parts which have been applied... 

The next stage in the risk assessment is the control of the risk. In established workplaces, some control of risk will already be in place. The effectiveness of these controls needs to be assessed so that an estimate of the residual risk may be made. Many hazards have had specific acts, regulations or other recognized standards developed to reduce associated risks. Examples of such hazards are fire, electricity, lead and asbestos. The relevant legislation and any accompanying approved codes of practice or guidance should be consulted first and any recommendations implemented. Advice on control measures may also be available from trade associations, trade unions or employers organizations.
