The Health and Safety at Work Order (Application to Environmentally Hazardous Substances) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”) extend the reference to dangerous substances in Article 3(1)(c) of the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 (“the 1978 Order”) to include environmentally hazardous substances. The purpose of the 2003 Regulations is to enable regulations to be made under Article 17 of the 1978 Order to implement any obligation imposed by the Directives referred to in regulation 2(1) of the 2003 Regulations.
These Regulations amend regulation 2(1) of the 2003 Regulations to add a reference to Directive 2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the inland transport of dangerous goods (O.J. No. L260, 30.9.2008, p. 13) so that regulations can be made under Article 17 of the 1978 Order to implement any obligation imposed by this Directive.
These Regulations have no impact on business.
