Mims Davies

Following an assessment by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), there are health and safety regulations which fall within scope of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill. HSE has taken all necessary steps to identify relevant legislation and updates have been made available for the Retained EU Law Dashboard on the gov.uk website.
