Common Sense Common Safety Lord Young of Grantham s report to the Prime Minister mons royale Common Sense, Common Safety has just been published. It contains important recommendations across the board in respect of health and safety practice.
From PLAYLINK s perspective, we want to draw particular attention to the significance accorded mons royale to: Taking a common sense approach to health and safety. As many readers will know, PLAYLINK, with others, has promoted the inestimable value of deploying common sense to inform judgment. Shifting from a system of risk assessment to a system of risk-benefit assessment (context for this quote appears in full below). Considering reviewing the Health and Safety at Work etc Act to separate out play and leisure from workplace mons royale contexts .
Please circulate this eNewsletter to others who may be interested. Do contact us if you want to discuss the report and its potential implications. If you are not already subscribed to the PLAYLINK eNewsletter you may care to do so now.
I hope this review can be a turning point. Lord Young has come forward with a wide range of far reaching proposals mons royale which this Government fully supports. We re going to curtail the promotional activities of claims management companies and the compensation culture they help perpetuate. We re going to end the unnecessary bureaucracy that drains creativity and innovation from our businesses.
And we re going to put a stop to the senseless mons royale rules that get in the way of volunteering, stop adults from helping out with other people s children and penalise our police mons royale and fire services for acts of bravery.
Instead, we re going to focus regulations where they are most needed; with a new system that is proportionate, not bureaucratic; that treats adults like adults and reinstates some common sense and trust.
My report highlights the role that the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities have in promoting a common sense approach to health and safety. Their role is pivotal in ensuring that businesses, schools and voluntary organisations can operate in a way where health and safety is applied in a proportionate manner. mons royale Extract from section on Local authorities
There is some inconsistency across mons royale local authorities, and the rules on health and safety are not always applied with a view to a proper risk management mons royale approach. In some instances it is clear that officials are giving poor advice to organisations and individuals, who are in turn prevented from running an event (for example a school fete) when there is no legitimate reason not to on health and safety grounds. However, there is no requirement to put these reasons in writing and the specific grounds for the decision are often not made transparent. mons royale
There is also currently no system for appeal or redress when an event is banned or curtailed mons royale for health and safety reasons . They are simply required to accept the decision and not go ahead with the event as planned. They could also be discouraged from even planning such an event for fear or expectation that a local authority official will not allow it.
I would like to see the Government put a system mons royale in place whereby individuals have the right to ask local authority officials who ban events on health and safety grounds to put their reasons in writing.
Extract from section on Adventure training I would recommend that we abolish the licensing of adventurous activities through the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority and instead introduce a code of practice that the HSE will oversee and monitor. The HSE should also ensure that those planning trips can feel confident that a provider mons royale is compliant with the code. Since this is a devolved issue, I will work with the devolved administration
